Vehicle Description
Often referred to as 'the last of the square riggers' the Rover TF
gained this title due to its very strong resemblance to the pre-war
Midgets. Originally launched at the 1953 Motor Show the TF was
greeted with mixed reactions from enthusiasts and journalists
alike. It was no secret that the TF was a stop gap measure due to a
delay in putting the long awaited MGA into production. In mid-1954
the engine capacity was increased by 17 percent to 1466 cc and
designated XPEG. The bore was increased to 72 mm (2.8 in) and
compression raised to 8.3:1 giving 63 bhp (47 kW) at 5,000 rpm and
a 17 per cent increase in torque. The car was now designated
TF1500, production ended at chassis number TF10100 on 4 April 1955
after 9,602 TFs had been manufactured, including two prototypes and
3,400 TF1500s. The TF was superseded by the MGA.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this beautiful example of the
rare 1955 MG TF Roadster. This roadster had a restoration done and
the Black paint has held its fantastic finish along with the
bumpers and chrome accessory pieces have a mirror like finish and
the optional luggage rack and spare tire, as well as the newer
black cloth top does not look to have any imperfections. The
interior is in an eye grabbing red vinyl with black accents as well
as the dash and correct working gauges and comes with windows that
can be zipped on to the top. The 1500cc Inline-4 engine fires up
and runs with no issues and the 4-speed manual transmission keeps
this TF rolling through the years and gears. These MG's are
definitely a blast from the past and with the suicide doors and
great looks this is a car that be driven and enjoyed for many miles
to come.
