Hi All again,

well just sorting out the insurance for my new (ish) TF and the insurers have said its an 80th Anniversary edition (its an "04" plate) what does this mean and how do i tell the diff? the salesman didnt tell me it was one of these!!

thanks

did you get a xpower grey one matt? i thought 80th anniversary editions only came in black? i could be wrong and im sure someone else will be along to correct me if so, but i think your insurance people are full of poo! when i got quotes on my car which is a 03 plate 135 they told me it was a 02 plate 160! you can check your car reg with teh dvla (which i did and mine was def a 03 135!) to prove this. to tel them other wise you should just be able to tell them down the phone! or select a different option with the online form. i think its just down to there being loads of variations on the tfs and insurance companies get confused very easily!

only typed half a post

Easiest way to tell is look at the boot badge, if it has 1924 - 2004 either side of the MG badge then it is, otherwise I doubt it very much.

HTH

yup plus on your seats and youd have lots of extra upgraded options! im sur ethey def only come in black tho! and have red (or whatever the proper colour name for it is!) interior trim?? perry should be able to tell you or andie (if shes still here )

you can def check your reg with teh dvla and that will tell you exactly what the spec of your car is! engine wise etc

80th edition came in brg as well, i know because thats the car that first attracted me to the f/tf

The 80th LE comes in black like Perrys and Goodwood Green like mine, you will know cos as said earlier it has the dates on the bbot lid and also woven into the seats and you will have a LE number badge on your T-bar, also when you bought the car you sould of had a certificate stating the LE number of yours.

how do you check your car model with the dvla? can it be done online or do you have to give them a buzz?

 

[Sprinter]

Before contacting DVLA can you get the VIN# to an MGR Dealer and get them to confirm what the factory thinks the car is?

... and Starlight Silver.

Mine is an 80th Anniversary Edition!!!

It is easy to find if it is one:

1. You must have on top of the T-bar (hey I know what the T-bar is!!!)
the badge with the serial number saying number xxx of 1600....eg mine is number 869 out of 1600

2. You get the logo 1924 MG 2004 on the seats
3. Same logo at the back of the car
4. You get a "Certificate of Authenticity" by the head designer of MG and McLaren Peter Stevens!!!
5. There is lots of extra stuff like teh AP-Racing brakes, different gearbox, alloys etc etc etc etc......so many extras
6. The color is either Black or Silver with burgundy top or British racing green with beige top

[PERRY-MGTF]

I have a database with all MGF/TF VIN numbers and what model they are. If you would like to PM me the VIN I can tell you exactly.
