Can anyone tell me,are all the 160hp engines vvc?

they are aren't they,i'm being a dumb tonight

Yes - as in yes they are!

There are no dumb questions. If you are unsure of anything - ask.

ok,so a trophy with a non vvc engine would be 135bhp yes?

As far as I know, Trophys (Trophies?) were only fitted with 160bhp vvc engines. If it's got a non vvc engine fitted it's either not a Trophy (maybe had a badge fitted?) or the engine has been swapped for a 135 or other engine.

Anyone else go any words of wisdom for tgee?

A Trophy without a VVC engine would not be a trophy

The TF160 is a VVC running MEMS3, so is the mk2 MGF Trophy.
The mk1 MGF VVC is a 143 VVC running MEMS 2.0J.

All other versions as non VVC.

Some cars are in trophy colours, blue and yellow for instance, but they are not Trophy 160s.

I think people think their car is a trophy because of it's colour.They just dont know that a Trophy 160 is the MGF top of the range edition with the VVC engine.

ok,thanks for the replies,all clear now,i found a TF same colour as your's Bob in a scrappers today,for some reason i thought it was a 160 but it had no vvc,if it had been i as thinking about putting the head and ecu etc on my mk2F vvc as i need to do some work on mine,i'm now thinking if i had to i could put my cams and vvc units onto the breakers head,i got a really good condition hood with heated rear window and the radiator,i have offered a price for the whole thing,just not sure if to go for it or not
