A DRIVING expert has urged Brits to pick up a popular MG roadster for under £6,000, saying it's a "no brainer" to invest in.

The MG F convertible was manufactured between 1995 and 2002, initially by the Rover Group before MG broke out as a brand on its own.

Produced at the company's Longbridge plant in Birmingham to compete with the popular Mazda MX-5 and Lotus Elan.

Boasting a more than sufficient 1.8-lite inline-four engine, with an optional performance package, it can put out up to 157 horsepower with a 6.8s 0-6mph time.

And it's economical too, managing 38 miles per gallon despite its sportier edge.
