MG TF 1950s
What is your favourite car of all time?
To many people the T-series MGS are the classic example of the marque. Last of the line, the TF, was built between October 1953 and May 1955 and represented a swift but masterly "facelift" of the TD model for the 1953 Motor Show. Lower and sleeker, it sported a slanting imitation radiator with dummy cap and headlights mounted directly into the wings. Initially fitted with a 1,250cc (76cu.in) engine, this was later replaced by the 1,500cc (91cu.in) XPEG unit which BMC had just developed for Magnette saloons and as a result top speed was increased to about 90mph (145km/h). Only 9,600 TFs were built before being discontinued to make way for the new shape MGA. By the end of production, a total 52,649 M.G. T-series cars had been produced.
