A celebration limited edition version of the UK’s best-selling sports car, the MG F, it was restricted to a production run of 2,000 that was built in both 1.8i and 1.8i VVC versions. Available in two colours, Mulberry Red and Black, the MG F 75 LE comes with a contrasting hood colour; Black when specified Red and Grenadine Red when specified Black and featured 16" eight-spoke ‘Minilite’ style wheels. The interiors were all trimmed in Grenadine Red leather, with leather seats, door casings, handbrake, gear lever gaiter and steering wheel. The wood/alloy gear knob was matched with wood veneers on the centre console and air vent and the in-car entertainment was uprated by the addition of a single-disc CD player. Externally, a chrome theme is applied to the door handles, grille and bodyside air intakes. From the 2,000 production run, UK allocation was only 500.
