Essentially a "face-lifted" TD, the MG TF retains the exemplary British sports car look. This was no mistake on MG's part, as the prewar look was the root of the company's success after WWII. Superseded in April of 1955 by the MGA, the TF was produced to the count of 9,602 units in two years, and was even a competitive privateer entrant in many races throughout Europe and North America.

Presented in red with a matching red interior; this beautiful example is driven by an inline four-cylinder engine with twin carburetors and is further equipped with a tan canvas top, wire wheels with knock-off hubs, folding windscreen, rear-mounted matching spare and impressive interior detail such as the prominent octagonal center-positioned instruments. The TF's are the last, best, and often deemed the most collectible of the T-Series MG's.

This particular 1954 TF series was donated to the AACA Museum in 2008 and has been in and out of display since. It is reported to run and drive well and the drivetrain seems to be in very good shape. It was restored several years ago and the paint is still shiny and bright. The interior is very nice, as is the canvas convertible top. The top is also tight and fits snugly. The trim and chrome elements are also bright and shiny in appearance.

The MG starts and runs well, but since it has been part of a static collection for the past few years, the buyer is advised that it may require some degree of re-commissioning before placing it routine service.
