The MG MGTF (2002-06) 2DR ROADSTER 1.8I 16V 135 SUNSTORM SE is a compact, two-seat British convertible, built for open-air enjoyment rather than family duties.

With a lively 1.8-litre petrol engine, it feels distinctive, and the Sunstorm SE name identifies a well-equipped version within the MGTF range.
mycarcheck.com has recorded 100 checks covering 61 different VINs, a useful snapshot of buyer interest.

Average recorded private-sale value was £1,500; owners had averaged almost five previous keepers, so check service history and condition carefully.
Best for couples or enthusiasts wanting a weekend car, it is less practical for commuting. Against Mazda MX-5 rivals, the MG brings British heritage and engaging, open-air driving fun.
