‘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. Produced pending the arrival of the MGA, the traditionally styled TF sold well, 9,600 examples being manufactured between October 1953 and May 1955. A limited 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, XPAG engine was up-rated for the TF to incorporate a raised compression ratio, larger valves, stronger valve springs and 1.5-inch SU carburettors. A generally nice, clean example, this TF 1250 is finished in green with matching interior. The vehicle comes with hood and side screens, and is offered with lubrication chart, sundry other literature and Swansea V5 registration document.
