As the thread title says.

What exactly are the differences between the various TF versions? (Cool Blue, Sunstorm, Sprint, Spark etc)

Is it purely mechanical, or are there differences in looks, interior etc?

The mechanical differences in the TF range are denoted purely by the model AFAIK (i.e. 115,135 or 160). The sunstorm, spark, cool blue etc just had differing levels of trim. For example, you could get a 135 sunstorm or a 160 sunstorm, but both got the higher trim level (hardtop, 11 spoke alloys etc)

2buy... we have a 53 plate Sprint 135.. so if you got a specific question on them, let me know I might be able to help
Thanks Stu@rt. :)

The website IanS suggested seems reasonably detailed though. Apparently, these things come in set styles, which i'm not keen on as i'm looking for my own certain style, none of these models seem to have that.

Is your Sprint 'nicer' than normal Mg interiors, by that i mean is it actually styled better or have they just used new colours/materials with the same quality of styling???

...well I think it depends how you define style.... I think the Sprint interior in the colour combination we chose is very stylish... then we would, we chose it ! ... however I did add a few little extra's later... mainly MS chrome bits, ie chrome door speaker surrounds, alloy heater nobs, chrome seat belt tidys and escutions (sp) ... and of course a chrome ciggy lighter....

Apart from different colours here and there, is the actual basic design any different?

Are there any differences whatsoever on the outside?

You can always add loads of extras to make the car "your own" but as has been said the TFs all come with the same style, just in different materials and colours.

I'd love to canabalise the BRG one we have at work for sale for it's Grenadine interior, but the boss might get a bit upset. I do keep my eyes open on the breakers yards we use for interiors that are for sale, there have been a few so I might change at some point in the future :D
