Chinese carmaker NAC MG has announced UK pricing for its British built TF LE500. The mid-engined, RWD roadster that’s due to arrive in dealerships across the UK this September will start at £16,399. Thats £700 more than the entry-level Mazda MX-5. NAC MG say the roadster is priced competitively and has received over 300 orders. For your money, you get a 134bhp 1.8-litre engine to meet Euro IV emission standards. Standard equipment includes manual air-conditioning, ABS, leather seats, windstop, 16-inch alloy wheels, a body coloured hardtop, parking sensors and a Pioneer MP3 compatible CD/radio.
NAC says that cheaper, lower-spec versions of the new TF will be launched some time next year. The company says it doesn’t have any specific expectations for sales volumes. “We are delighted to be able to bring in such a highly specified car at such a reasonable price,” said Gary Hagen of NAC UK.
