Beschreibung:

"Over the years the model has been developed to improve its performance, handling qualities and general comfort. However, in spite of this, the main external features have remained more or less unchanged and even now the recently introduced TF model shows that the bodywork has been restyled to produce a much cleaner external appearance though retaining the MG Midget characteristics." - Autocar. A stop-gap model produced pending the arrival of the MGA, the traditionally styled TF sold well, 9,600 being produced between October 1953 and May 1955. A rushed development programme meant that there was little, mechanically at least, difference between the TF and the outgoing TD II. Essentially a re-styled version of the latter, the TF retained its predecessor's body centre section but featured a changed front end with a shortened, sloping, radiator grille and headlamps faired into the wings, plus an improved interior with separately adjustable seats. The TD II's 1,250cc, 57bhp, XPAG engine was retained at first, pending the arrival of the TF 1500 in November 1954, the latter version accounting for more than half of total production. This left-hand drive TF was supplied new to the Netherlands, enjoying just two owners there from new, the last since 1987. Believed accident free, the car is finished in red with black interior and presented in good original condition throughout. It is offered complete with tool kit and valid Netherlands registration papers.
