How We Price Our Cars :
We rely on Hagerty’s industry-leading classic car Price Guide to keep our prices in line with the current market. By leveraging detailed data, auction results, dealer pricing, private sales, and insights from the UK’s most trusted classic car websites, we maintain transparency and fairness in our pricing.

At The Forge, we’re more than just a classic car dealership—we’re a family-run business with a genuine love for classic cars. Our mission is simple: treat our customers as we’d want to be treated—with honesty, respect, and transparency.

 

Our pricing is competitive and fair, grounded in Hagerty’s trusted Classic Car Price Guide, saving you money compared to traditional dealerships. We believe in straightforward, no-haggle pricing, so you can enjoy a clear, no-surprises experience without the stress of auctions or private sales.

 

When you buy from The Forge, you’re not just purchasing a classic car—you’re joining our extended family.

 

Each car we offer is carefully handpicked, often sourced from fellow enthusiasts who share our values. Before any vehicle reaches our showroom, it undergoes an independent inspection, an MOT if needed, and professional detailing, ensuring it’s in prime condition and ready for its next journey.

 

We fully own every car in our collection. This structure guarantees the integrity of every transaction and demonstrates our commitment to quality.

 

Although original manufacturer warranties aren’t possible due to these cars’ age, we take immense pride in presenting each car in excellent condition, free from known faults upon delivery. We inspect each vehicle thoroughly, document any repairs, and include invoices for parts and labor in the car’s history file. If a service is warranted by mileage or time, we’ll at minimum perform an oil and filter change with OE/OEM parts, which is also noted in the car’s records.

 

Upon collection or delivery, we record the mileage and provide a 3-month/500-mile warranty (whichever comes first). Should any issues arise beyond standard wear-and-tear, given the car’s age, please reach out to us directly—we’ll do our utmost to assist.

 

Classic cars are timeless machines with intricate components that may occasionally need attention. Embracing a classic means accepting these quirks and savoring the open-road journeys that make them feel as exhilarating today as they did decades ago—whether that’s 20, 30, or even 40+ years in the making.

History Of The 1995 - 2002 MG MGF :

The MGF was in production from 1995 until 2002. Styled in house, it is a mid-engine, rear wheel drive sports car seating two adults.
 

Developed on a budget, the MGF is loosely based around the Rover Metro parts bin, using two adapted front subframes mounted back to back, with the steering controlled by the front subframe and the engine mounted midships in the rear one. This meant a new power steering system was needed as it was impossible to run the pump from the engine – electric power steering was invented initially for this car. Available from launch with a 1.8 litre version of Rover’s K series either with or without variable valve control, Rover also added a smaller 1.6 and the CVT Steptronic to the range following a minor facelift for 1999. MG replaced the F with the TF for 2002, as following the end of Metro production it wasn’t cost effective to continue to produce the Hydragas suspension displacers which the MGF inherited from its Metro heritage. Its replacement would utilise coil springs.
 

Most desirable are cars with VVC, especially the limited edition Trophy 160 specification. Steptronic cars are a curiosity but not one which will result in increased values, given that the majority of F customers like to change their own gears. The optional hard top is desirable, but bear in mind you’ll need somewhere to store it if you want to enjoy the car with the hood down in summer. A total of 77269 MGFs were produced across a seven year lifespan.
 

Alternatives to the MGF then and now would include the Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Kompressor and BMW Z3, though its closest rival by far was the Mazda MX-5. Available as a 1.6 and 1.8 litre the small Mazda’s range was closely mirrored by that of the MGF, while mid engined alternatives would include the Toyota MR2. The subsequent MG TF would also be worth considering provided you could live with the revised looks and the revival of coil springs. If you want an older car which serves a similar purpose, consider the MGB.
