Vehicle Description
The MG TF was the end of an era - the true the last of the
full-fendered British sports cars. It's the classic design that
made us fall in love with the roadsters from Europe, and this
exceptionally restored example celebrates our driving passion.
Pristine Glacier White paint suits the stylish little roadster,
especially with the way the contrasting black in the seals and new
top really add upper-class distinction. Plus, the exemplary fit and
finish of the cut-down doors, sweeping front fenders, and long hood
all point to true craftsmen at work. The upright windshield,
rear-mounted spare, and graceful bumpers retain the old-world look.
And we all love the proper knock-off wire wheels with MG spinner
cap. But the short run of TFs is also celebrated for the headlights
fared into the front fenders and racked grille that added a bit of
streamlined charm to the vintage personality.
Inside the motto should be, "No radio. No windows. No problem."
These MGs are a great lesson in purist motoring. A grippy steering
wheel, clear gauges, and a manual transmission - that's all you get
because that's all you need. Your senses will go into overload as
the wind whips through the interior and you help create the
wonderful soundtrack from the motor. Being a minimalist does not
mean lacking in style. This TF is especially nice as the black
vinyl interior matches all the exterior detail work. So attention
is guaranteed when you park this British invasion among the big
Detroit metal at car shows.
The 1250 cc inline-four is the car's original motor, and proper
care means it still is a smooth runner. More than just the pride of
originality, classic overhead valve unit with twin SU carburetors
really helps the roadster shine. The motor was built for you to go
out and row through the gears of the four-speed transmission and
get the most out of this powerplant. Just like the legs on a little
dog, the MG's engine has a peppy attitude that's happiest when it's
kicking just about as fast as it can. The light body weight and
independent front suspension all contribute to this sporting
attitude. But to get the most fun out of this roadster, it requires
you. That's what makes these MGs so popular... you are connected
with the machine. This car needs you to get to the destination, and
so when you arrive, it feels like an accomplishment.
Documented with a large restoration photo file, this is a
beautifully finished TF that's turnkey ready for fun this weekend.
