By 1953, however, the TD was beginning to look old fashioned, as competitive sports cars from Triumph and Singer entered the field. To compete, the TD was given an evolutionary makeover, with a swept-back radiator grille and more sweeping fenders. Headlamps were nestled into the inner surface of the front fenders.
Introduced in October 1953, the new TF model was mechanically based on the earlier MG TD with the same XPAG 1,250cc engine, but with various upgrades for better performance. A taller standard final drive ratio was better suited to American highways. While TD production had reached nearly 30,000, the comparatively short lived TF 1250 run came to just 6,200. An additional 3,400 were added in 1954 and '55, along with the TF 1500 with a 1,466cc motor.
This particular MG TF was acquired by David Shelburne in 1988. It was purchased from Dick Accountis out of Pataskala, OH and has since served him well on numerous MG tours. Some of the tours that it has participated in included the 1990 Circuit of Britain and the 1996 Run Around the Rock, in Newfoundland, Canada. As David and his wife Ellen were avid videographers and these journeys were well documented in the several DVDs;
