A new MG TF – the Sunstorm SE – is announced today (October 7), combining a high-level specification with a standard-equipped body-coloured hardtop, making it ready for any weather conditions, and in the process the appearance of a desirable coupe.
The TF Sunstorm SE is offered in three body colour options – Raven Black, Nightfire Red and Starlight Silver. The lined body-coloured hardtop is complemented by a Smokestone coloured interior and Gunsmoke Alcantara (C) lack leather seats, leather steering wheel, ‘Momo’ leather and alloy gear knob and a single slot CD tuner. The specification includes a black hood, bright pack, 16″ 11-spoke alloy wheels and MG/AP Racing disc brakes, front fog lamps and body coloured electric door mirrors. The Sunstorm SE is available with a choice of engines with three power outputs 115, 135 or 160Ps.
Richard Hudson, MG Rover Group’s sports car product specialist, commented: “The TF Sunstorm SE combines a high-specification with attractive coupe looks, which together produce a desirable SE worthy of any enthusiast’s pride.”
Available in the UK, only 500 Sunstorm SEs are being produced. Orders can be placed with immediate effect. Performance and economy are similar to the donor models.
