The MG Car Club magazine Safety Fast marked the 25th Anniversary of the MGF in no mean way – an appropriate 25 pages of MGF/TF content no less!
Cover stars Rob and Jane Parry are interviewed by Jeff Ruggles about their quest to save as many pre-production and early MGFs as possible and their collection now reaches around eight (we’re never too sure as they’ve probably found another by now!).
Roger King was a director of public affairs at SMMT and was invited to the Press Launch of the MGF at Coombe Abbey Hotel in 1995. He recalls the weekend and the impact of the new car.
Tim Morris is President of the MGF Register and goes back over 25 years of the MGF Register itself from its humble beginnings in late 1995, just as the car was being delivered to customers.
Ian Pogson worked at Longbridge and was the Chief Engineer for MG Motor, notably responsible for the 85th Anniversary TF. He recalls his time at the factory when the TF was re-launched under NAC ownership.
At the back of the magazine we look back at the first birthday party at Gaydon and Tim Morris backs it all up with his usual SF column.
Phew, what a scorcher, as they say!
