OK, I'll take your word for it. You're the guy on the spot with an
encyclopedic knowledge of MG stuff.

Well, that isn't correct.
The MGF was produced by Rover Group from 1995 while it was owned by
BMW. MG Rover was formed after the sale of the marque by BMW to the
Phoenix Group in 2000, and they continued to produce the MGF. It
became the TF from 2002 until 2005 when MG Rover collapsed. The TF
was based on the MGF but had re-engineered suspension and engines,
both MGF and TF up to this time were entirely assembled at
Longbridge. Nanjing bought the name in 2007 and in 2008 started
producing the TF again with very few changes, this was the CKD kit
only finally assembled at Longbridge. There was a much bigger
difference between the Rover Group/MG Rover MGF and the MG Rover TF
than there was between the MG Rover TF and the Nanjing TF. The
Chinese TF was almost exactly the same as the MG Rover TF.

What I read was the MG F was produced by the Rover group. The TF was
assembled from Chinese-built Complete Knock Down Kits (CKD) in the
UK. They were not the same cars.
