Buying an MGF

According to an ex MGF/Rover engineer you must only go for the 1600 engine and not the 1800 engine as the 1800 is a bored out 1600 and they therefore have many problems as the cooling system was only designed to cope with the 1600 engine and is not capable of cooling an 1800 properly and many 1800 suffer with head gasket problems which burn the top part of the engine out and cost a fortune to replace/repair. So keep with a 1600 only, also the MGF was built to run on only CONTINENTAL tyres, anything else will make the car not handle as it should as it was designed for continental tyres.
