The Jubilee special is a one off model created to celebrate both the Queen's Golden Jubilee in June 2002 and also the 1.5millionth MG ever built on the 16th April 2002. The model is a TF 160 and is painted in the new monogram Supertallic Jubilee Gold colour. The colour is not unique and for an extra £800 you can have it on your TF. However this particular model is a top of the range TF 160 with special trim including a gold ingot "160" badge, crown decals for the wheel centres, a jubilee monogram on the head restraints and inscribed "The 1.5 millionth MG" above each side air intake. It will take place in the Jubilee pageant at Pall Mall on June 4th and afterwards will be auctioned for charity.
So you can recognise it in the future the registration is MG 02 OTF and the chassis number is :- SARRDLBPC2D604127. It was the 4027th TF built.
Number built :- 1

MGR have recruited ex Corrie Star and previous F owner Tracey Shaw to promote this Special Edition - the Cool Blue TF. Coincidentally she is touring the country in a play by David Hare appropriately called "The Blue Room" at the same time..
The Car itself is a high Spec version of the standard TF with a blue hood and Alcantra upholstery. The car features a Momo® leather/alloy gear knob, leather steering wheel, wind stop and ash grey facia. The "Cool Blue " aspect of the car is pinpointed by it's blue hood, six spoke 16" alloys and chrome grille pack with front fog lamps. The "Cool" colours you can order are Trophy Blue, Pearlescent, Starlight Silver or Metallic Anthracite.
The car is available in TF115 format at £16,995 or as a TF135 at £18,495.
Seems pretty similar to last summers SE promotion , the Sprint, and designed hopefully to boost spring sales.
Number to be built : 600 from March 2003
