Description Purchased by our vendor way back in 1964; now presented in Almond Green; wire wheels; UK registered but has spent much time with our vendor in the sunny dry climate of Mallorca Last of the MG T-Series line and arguably the best, the TF was introduced in October 1953.
Although mechanically very similar to its TD predecessor, the provision of a shorter radiator, revised wing line and faired-in headlamps lent it an altogether sportier air.
Equipped with rack-and-pinion-steering, independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, the new model was perfectly in keeping with MG's 'Safety Fast' reputation.
Initially powered by a twin-carburettor 57bhp 1,250cc XPAG four-cylinder engine, the TF was offered with a 63bhp 1,466cc XPEG motor from November 1954 onwards.
Just 9,600 TF models were made (6,200 with the XPAG engine) before it was replaced by the entirely different MGA in 1955, the vast majority being sold in LHD to the American market.
