Originally launched at the 1953 Motor Show, the MG TF was greeted with mixed reactions from enthusiasts and journalists alike. To the Abingdon engineers, led by Cecil Cousins, it was a model that was sufficiently different from its predecessors and yet continued the traditional T-Series classic lines and the end result was very pleasing to the eye. Interior wise and in keeping with the external modifications, the cockpit layout was quite radically different to that of its predecessor and formed a comfortable and pleasant place to be. Individually adjustable seats were provided in place of the normal bench type seating and the facia panel was completely new with a welcome return to octagonal instrumentation. Often referred to as 'the last of the square riggers' the MG TF gained this title due to its very strong resemblance to the pre-war MG Midgets.

This wonderful looking example is a 1500 TF model and was registered new in 1955. Imported and registered in the UK in 2024, the current and only private owner since import has cherished this example with it forming part of his private collection. Presented in green coachwork over a brown leather interior, it is complemented by a set of painted wire wheels and a black hood. This lovely looking example was previously treated to a restoration and as such it presents in very nice order. The paintwork retains a deep shine, and the brown seats and interior are in good order. Offered in left hand drive guise and powered by the desirable 1500 motor, this is a perfect candidate for enthusiast and collectors alike and would be at home here in the UK or on the continent.
