"1954 MG TF Roadster
""The TD was an unqualified success and 29,664 were sold in four years, three times the TC production. Almost all of those, 24,388, went to the U.S. The MG TF 1250 Midget was launched at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1953. In all, 9,600 TFs were sold, with 3,400 being the 1500 model, before the streamlined MGA finally arrived in 1955. Today, the TF has overcome its early criticism to be considered the most desirable of these three T-Series models, and this is reflected in prices.""� Thx Hagerty.com�
For consignment, a 1954 MG TF roadster with 1,000 miles since its 1989 restoration and 75,404 title verified actual miles showing on the odometer. This is a lightweight car, of course, but might have a hard time moving if you were to load up all the awards won by this TF. The list is long and has enjoyed many first place awards and a Best Of at British car and MG gatherings in the Philadelphia region. If the T-series has been on your radar, here's one for serious consideration.�
Exterior
An absolute stand out, dressed in something other than green or black, it's MG Red that coats this car giving the car quite the personality. TF's fused the headlight buckets to the fenders creating a more streamlined presentation while the rest of the car retains much of the charm that made the TD such a success. A long hood meets a cowl that cants rearward, setting the posture for the cabin itself as the windshield and door seams go the same way while the top of the door dips dramatically down towards the rear fender. The rear section sits below the driver's shoulder as well while carrying a spare between two circular tail lights and a chrome bumper with bumper guards. 15-inch wire wheels provide a touch of elegance to this classic sports car and a canvas convertible top is stowed under a tan tonneau and both are in great condition. Imperfections are few, limited to some minor curb rash on a wheel and rock chips on a ground-facing body panel.
Interior
Red leather first covers the doors in a tidy and simple design, then moves to the bomber style bucket seats in fine shape. A tan banjo style steering wheel presents to the driver while MG's distinct hexagon shaped gauges fill an elegant panel in the center and it's flanked by open storage boxes on each side. Black carpet cleanly covers the floor and gives way to the straight shifter which rises from the drive shaft hump in front of a chrome handbrake. A sill plate on each side displayed ""The M.G. Car Company Ltd."" in clear black text, while a padded leather band rides the rim of the dash, highlighting the elegant, undulating lines of the design.�
Drivetrain
Under the engine cover, a clean and show worthy 76.3ci inline 4 cylinder engine, rated at 57.5 horsepower and fueled by 2 SU carburetors. A 4-speed manual transmission sends power to 4.875 gears in back and drum brakes are supplied to front and rear wheels.��
Undercarriage
Super clean underneath with spider webs being the only divergent feature from the conditions, and that's an easy fix! The maroon paint used on the engine block finds its way to the transmission for a bit more dress up underneath. The single exhaust flows through a stock style muffler eventually finding its way to an inconspicuous exit behind the rear bumper. Suspension consists of coil springs up front and leaf springs in the rear. Hardware, knuckles, wiring, frame, all clean and show worthy, so bring a mirror or two to the show!�
Drive-Ability
This well sorted show car provided a trouble free ride and despite the horsepower numbers, delivers a spirited drive that with the top down and low seating position, can only be described as exhilarating. No extra bells and whistles to dictate the full compliance of operational items on the car and we hightail it back to the mall so it can find its rightful place! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.�
T-series cars were all the rage in the early '50's and very popular in the relatively new SCCA. Great road cars, sure, but racers also discovered their handling prowess and toss ability, using them on dirt, oval, and road tracks throughout the country. Here's one closer to showroom condition you might want to keep away from dusty dirt tracks and gravel roads!�
