Let's not lose sight of the bigger picture here folks. :P

That is that John Newey put this car up for auction and a fair segment of that raffle money went to a very worthy charity. It took a while and has provided much debate and entertainment within the MG community (and still does) but it got there in the end. Hats off to the winner too. Lucky bugger. :lol:

If someone spent 14k buying it and put it in a nice dry lockup garage for 20 years, what could it be worth then? :yesnod:

In my opinion, I can see an MGF Trophy becoming a collectable classic. :yesnod:

Possibly some other specials like the 75th Anniversary F, The 80th TF, maybe a few others.:shrug:

No way in the World is a Chinese copy going to be a collectable classic. :nonod:

Possibly.

But would you pay €8000.00 for a 80th TF as advertised on Donedeal ? :-?

Seems also quite optimistic to me. It's a nine year old car...

Pity this car did not end up in the hands of a T-Bar member or other F/TF enthusiast but if you want a TF that will command a high price you need to go a long way to beat one of these CLICK here to view.

In all honesty I'm not sure my financial circumstances would have allowed me to keep it had I won it. I'd probably have sold it and my F and bought a newer car and made some money or had some major renovation done to the F.
