1955 MG TF 1500

Description

Introduced for 1953, the TF represented the final evolution of MG's traditional T-Series roadsters before the marque transitioned to the MGA. While retaining the upright grille, flowing fenders, and open-air driving experience that defined early MG sportscars, the TF featured cleaner styling and improved performance, particularly in TF 1500 form. Equipped with the larger XPEG engine, the TF 1500 is generally regarded as the most desirable and capable variant of the series.

This 1955 MG TF 1500 is powered by a 1.5L XPEG inline-four equipped with dual SU carburetors and paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in green over brown upholstery, the car is equipped with a black soft top, side curtains, tonneau cover, luggage rack, 15-inch wire wheels, a Lacarra steering wheel, and a wood shift knob.

This 1955 MG TF 1500 is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with spare takeoff parts, cabin cover accessories, and a clean Missouri title in the seller’s name.
