1955 MG-TF 1500 ROADSTER
The MG-TF 1500 was the last of the iconic MG Roadster body designs. Only 3400 were produced in England with the 1466 c.c. engine with dual SU carburetors. Thus the tag 1500 was established as a nameplate on both side of the hood. Engine #XPEG2951 appears on the firewall tag as well as the Octagon on the right side of the motor. This example is a totally correct matching numbers MG TF 1500 including the paint code.
Power by the original 1466 c.c. engine gives the 2000 pound MG enough power to reach speeds up to 85 mph. Comfortable and safe country touring was achieved at speeds up to 60 mph. The engine is mated with a 4 speed manual gearbox and four wheel drum brakes. The factory optional wire wheels added to the sporty look. The engine is very strong and mated to the original and totally rebuilt 4 speed transmission.
This MG had been restored a number of years ago and is still in excellent condition. The red paint needs no attention and the red leather remains soft and pliable. A new hartz cloth top was added recently along with a new genuine Moss black hartz cloth tonneau cover. The body and chassis are very sound, including the wood framed doors. Truly ready to enjoy. Priced to sell at $33,500.
