A new body-coloured hardtop is now available on new and existing MGF sports cars, MG announced today (31st October). The hardtop permits owners to operate a two in one capability (coupe and roadster styles) and creates a new exterior appearance with all year round protected motoring. The body-coloured hardtop features electric rear window demist, headlining and an integral design that can replace or be fitted over the existing soft top.

From October until 31 December 2001, the body-coloured hardtop will be available to customers at an introductory retail price of £795, a customer saving of £500 (including VAT) from the normal price. The offer excludes the current black hardtop and Heritage hardtop and is only available as a factory fitted option on new vehicles.

The body coloured hardtop is available in a full range of bold and stylish colours including Platinum Silver, Tahiti Blue, Anthracite, Solar Red, British Racing Green, Sienna Gold, Copperleaf Red and Old English White.

MGF continues to lead the way in the UK roadster market with sales in the first ten months exceeding 6,000 units, which is already above the full year 2000 level. Sales have recently been boosted by the introduction of the new 1.6i, Trophy 160 SE and the latest Freestyle SE derivatives, plus the extension of the MG dealer franchise.
