Oh dear. Sorry, but please buy one that hasn't been made to look like that.
I saw this and thought of you. Pass the bucket, eh John?

The bucket
and the eye bleach please. That thing is somebody's pride & joy and I'm no stranger to automotive oddities so must be careful about what I write, just in case I offend someone.

Have you seen that car? Of course you have. But the title: Awesome Jaw Dropping Looks. He's made it look like one of those pictures a five year old conjures up when asked to draw a car.
My missus likes the model but as John perceptively states, when commenting on the bastardisation of the MG TF, if you go over the top you just ruin the original.

Yes, but sadly the boot is too narrow to carry the light sabre so I use the socket to run a USB supply for my phone.
Meanwhile, here comes a slightly
heavier Sabre that, IMHO, represents a most worthy alternative to an MGF:

Sadly, it's not the 1800cc, Nissan Sylvia engined model, but as it weighs much the same as an empty balloon the 1.4 litre K series tends to be plenty. These late ones are all Galvanised so none of the sill - and everywhere else underneath - rot that killed earlier examples of Reliant's second best small four wheeler.

Worthy alternative? You do like dull cars John. Here's something for you, it's only got one seat, former owner's a hamster. Perhaps not an MG TF, more WTF.
