The last MG to really show the marque’s heritage was the TF which was launched in October 1953. Designed in response to the decrease in sales of the TD, the TF served as the last of the T-series Midget cars before the MGA was launched in the fall of 1955. The TF featured the same frame and drivetrain as the TD, however, a slight face-lift was applied to the design. The front fenders were reshaped to incorporate the headlights, taking away the T-series pre-war appearance. MG also shortened and raked the front grille, which allowed the hood to sit lower and improve aerodynamics. On the inside, individual bucket seats were now standard which helped to give the driver and passenger a sportier feel. The proven XPAG engine was given the TD Mark II treatment with larger carburetors, an increased compression ratio and larger valves which increased power output to 58hp. The TF’s increased performance combined with the classic MG style resonates today with both collectors and enthusiasts. Just over 9,600 had been built when production ceased in 1955, making the TF a cherished collectible to this day.

 

Finished in gorgeous MG Red with a beautiful black interior and new tan convertible top, this magnificent motorcar has been recently serviced and is ready to drive and enjoy. It was restored by marque specialist Mike Goodman in 2000 and has been driven less than 150 miles since then. It was believed to have had only 2,500 actual miles when the last owner purchased it in 1989. We are proud to offer what we believe to be one of the very best MG TF’s on the market today to the most particular collector or enthusiast who wants the best. Ready to make an investment that you can actually enjoy? According to Motortrend, the classic car market has recently shown more growth than hedge funds with projected returns of 161% after five years and a whopping 467% after a decade.
