The Rover Mini MGF, launched in 1995, marked a significant departure from the iconic Mini's legacy. This sporty roadster, designed by Peter Stevens, was a modern interpretation of the classic British roadster, offering a sharp and elegant design. It was underpinned by a monocoque chassis, a departure from the Mini's ladder frame construction, and featured a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, a first for the Mini brand. The MGF's range of engines included a 1.8-litre K-series engine, available in various power outputs ranging from 100 to 160bhp, providing a spirited and engaging driving experience. The suspension setup, featuring MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link independent rear, contributed to the car's agile handling and responsive nature.

The Rover Mini MGF was available in various configurations, including the standard "MGF," the "MGF Trophy" with its sportier suspension and styling cues, and later, the "MGF Trophy 160," boasting a more powerful engine. The MGF, while praised for its driving experience, faced challenges with reliability, particularly in early models. The highly-engineered K-series engine, while powerful, was prone to head gasket failures. Additionally, the car's electrical system often presented issues, requiring frequent attention. Despite these shortcomings, the MGF carved a niche for itself as a fun and engaging roadster, appealing to drivers seeking a spirited and affordable driving experience. Its sleek styling and impressive handling characteristics, coupled with its relatively lightweight construction, contributed to the MGF's enduring appeal among enthusiasts.
