Smell of petrol on acceleration

There is a smell of petrol sometimes when I accelerate. I have noticed this since getting the car (03 mgtf 135) a month ago. I thought it may be normal on these cars, but my passenger today reckoned it shouldn't happen on a modern fuel system? It was happening today with the roof down. Car had a recent full service. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tom.
