Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1954 MG TF, offered from a deceased estate, features a five-speed gearbox, servo brakes, and other upgrades from 2011. While it hasn't run recently due to a fuel pump issue, it presents a well-cared-for appearance with a nicely patinated interior, suggesting it could be a worthwhile project for a classic car enthusiast.
The car's black paint and steel wheels contribute to its classic look, and it comes with desirable upgrades like electronic ignition and radial tires. The inclusion of a spare rear axle is a bonus, but the non-running condition and the need for fuel pump repair should be considered.

The car hasn't run recently and requires fuel pump work. It has covered 2,070 miles since its last MOT in 2015.
