Is my MGF a VVC?
A mk1 VVC should have five spoke alloys, whereas the MY2000 VVC has 16″ 6-square spoke wheels. Many non-VVC MGFs have had 16″ diameter wheels fitted as an option. If so, request to see documentation. Remember that any style wheel can be fitted to any MGF – so not a fool-proof sign.

What does VVC mean in an MGF?
Variable Valve Control
Page eight of the original MGF brochure contained a short description which attempts to describe, for the general reader and potential purchaser, how the VVC (Variable Valve Control) mechanism works. Explaining a complicated piece of equipment is difficult, which is probably why I ended up somewhat bemused.
Is an MGF a good buy?
A good MGF delivers a brilliant blend of handling and ride, while the TF is a little firmer and sharper but still comfortable. All of the bushes and balljoints can wear out in anything from 25,000 to 75,000 miles, so be prepared to replace them – as well as the shock absorbers – to get a really top-driving example.
What does MG stand for in British cars?
Morris Garages
Nine Decades in the Making Very few of today’s car brands can boast the passion-fuelled longevity and storied history of MG, a British car brand that began with a wonderful vision in 1924.
