MR2 or MGF?

I have the chance to buy either a 2004 Toyota MR2 with 80000 miles on the clock and good bodywork but no full service history or a 2005 MG TF 135 with 43000 miles on the clock, one owner, full service history and all the usual faults dealt with - new head gasket, cambelt, water pump serviced each year etc.

In your opinion which one is the better buy?
