MG : T-Series TF-1500 - COULD YOU FIND A BETTER ONE? A RARE, UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL 1955 MG TF1500
$38,950
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
1955 MG TF-1500 I think the MG TF 1500 is the most beautiful MG ever made and I sincerely believe my "TF-1500" is the best of the best and most beautiful of them all! If you don't think so, please take another look at the photographs. I see that other cars (dealers?) are much more expensive than mine (see price comps below) but I'll put my car next to theirs any day of the week. Although not in her original color, in her MG Red paintwork she looks absolutely fabulous. This paintwork must have involved taking the "Body Off" completely as both under the Car, under the Dashboard and under the Hood are the same MG red. My Car also has "NUMBERS MATCHING" as confirmed by British Motor Industries Heritage Trust Certificate number 2014/1581 (please see photo). The MG TF’s were manufactured between July 13th, 1954 and April 4th, 1955 with Body Numbers TF-6501 – TF-10100, a 14 month production run of 3,600 cars. It’s pretty obvious when looking at my Car, that a Very Extensive Restoration has been carried out as evidenced by the Car's really good condition and which the photos ably confirm. The indicated mileage is 1,927 which I believe to be the mileage covered since the restoration. While I have no real reason to disbelieve it, I can't substantiate it either. The car’s original color was Almond Green with a Green Interior. A previous owner had the sense to change it to MG Red and the paintwork is in exceptional condition save for the very few stone chips, etc., (there are no dents) that unavoidably come with use. The interior was also changed to Factory Matching, Red Leather with White Piping which also shows beautifully and is also in excellent condition. The TF came into being when sales of the TD slumped with the introduction of the faster, more modern-looking and similarly priced Triumph TR2. Morris Garages, makers of MG cars, merged with the Nuffield Organization to form the British Motor Corporation (B.M.C.). Considerable funding had just gone into the newly introduced Austin-Healey and, although designs for the MG-A existed, there was a shortage of liquid capital with which to put it into production. As a cost-efficient alternative, in 1953, the TF was introduced. Among the many changes; it had a sleeker Nose and a more graceful Tail. The Radiator was sloped back and the Hood-line inclined downwards to meet it. The Headlights were partially faired-in and the front Fender profile was modified. At the rear, the exposed Fuel Tank and Spare Wheel Carrier were made more rakish with the rear Fenders sporting a shapelier flare to match. Overall, the TF was 3.5 inches longer, an inch wider and half an inch lower. Individual, adjustable Seats replaced the previous Bench Seat and there was a new, centrally located Instrument Panel featuring the now famous and handsome, MG Octagonal Gauges. It was initially well received but times had moved on. Production ceased in mid 1955 with B.M.C. needing to devote its time and energy to the initial production of the MG-A. Only 3,400 TF-1500's were manufactured with the majority coming to America, to Canada and into Europe. Now about my Car:- Per the B.M.I.H.T. certificate, she was built between the 8th and the 12th of October, 1954. She had then, as now, Car/Chassis (V.I.N.) Number HDE43/7418, Engine Number XPEGTF1274, Body Number TF18013 and the factory optional, Chromed Wire Wheels. It was shipped from the factory to the U.S. on October 13th, 1954 Although she is a remarkable 60+ years old, she is in great, restored condition. During her history, many parts were chrome-plated that weren’t so plated by the factory. You’ll find these plated parts in all sorts of places including the Gas Tank sides and, believe it or not, all the Brake Drums and even the Prop Shaft, etc., etc., and especially under the hood. So if you're looking for a car that you can confidently drive to and successfully enter in your local car shows, she is it! Completely Rust-Free with the Undercarriage in excellent condition including all the recent, visible Wooden Components. Although she has been repainted during her 60 year life; the Paintwork has very few, very minor scars of being driven and there are no dents. The original Chrome-plated Parts and the Manufacturer's Badges, etc., are original and in excellent condition. The Clock doesn't work (they never do!) and the Horns and lights work. She has the very minor fluid leaks that just go with the era. I actually think I solved one by tightening the Oil Filter Housing. But, you know what they say about the British classic sports car, "if it doesn't leak, it's because there's no oil in it"! The Engine starts instantaneously from cold with short-lived use of the Choke and runs smoothly, idling at around 800 rpm and enthusiastically awaiting your use. She accelerates willingly with that gorgeous sound from the new Stainless Steel Exhaust with a Polished Muffler. She changes smoothly through all the Gears. First and Reverse are the typically noisy, Moss, straight-cut, non-synchromesh gears. There is virtually no play in the Steering but please remember that the driving position is the older "you can almost hit the horn button with your chest" style. The Steering is quite heavy at slower speeds compared with modern day cars as, in those days, there was no power assistance. The "Emergency" Brake works as it should and the car's Brakes are also good but do require more pressure than one is used to with modern cars (again, no power assistance). Similarly, comparatively heavy, the Clutch can give you wheel spin at the start in First Gear if you wish - proof that the Clutch is good. The Gauges, Switches and Lights have been checked and/or repaired/replaced and work as they should. She has been comprehensively serviced including:- All Fluid levels checked. The Radiator back-flushed and refilled with water. If you live where winters are a problem, please refill with Anti-Freeze. Fuel System checked. Carburetors checked. Air Cleaners cleaned. New Points, Distributor Cap, Condenser and Plugs fitted. Generator and Voltage Regulator checked. Other items of interest:- Chrome Wire Wheels and all 4 Brake Drums. Plenty of Chrome-Plated parts under the Hood, Fenders and at the rear. Four new Tires and a spare. A new, full, black, Tonneau Cover still in the supplier’s box un-opened. I also have an un-used white one if you'd prefer that? Twin, vintage, lap-type, Safety Belts. New Lucas PL700 headlights similar to those fitted to Rolls Royce and other British super luxury cars of the era have been fitted. Working Lucas SLD/SPF576 Spot/Fog Lights of the era and a wired/switched/working Reversing Light have been fitted. A brand new Badge Bar with brand new B.R.S.C.C., B.A.R.C. and MG Abingdon Badges. New Twin, fender-mounted Wing Mirrors and new, twin and of the era, vintage Windscreen Wind Wings etched with “1955 MG TF 1500” have been fitted. New battery cut-off switch fitted for security. She has the original Crank Handle (properly secured behind seats); twin Hood Stays (unusual); an MG Jack with Crank; an of-the-era, working, Hand Air Pump and the correct, Thor, Brass-headed Hammer for the Chromed, Wire Wheel, Knock-on Hubs. On the Passenger-side, Interior Valance a genuine antique, of-the-era, Polished Brass "Presto" mini Fire Extinguisher has been fitted in the original bracket. As the retardant is now illegal, the contents have been evacuated, so the Extinguisher is for decorative purposes only. There is a full MG Toolkit in a new Embroidered-Logo Toolroll. The Hood or Top is White and in good condition as is the rear, transparent window and the Hood's Frame-work. All four, White Side Screens, including the transparent vinyl, are in good condition. However, you surely don’t intend to take her out in the rain so I suggest you wrap them securely and put them in the attic where they belong. She also comes with a new Workshop Manual, an old-style but new Driver's Handbook (i.e. comprehensive) and Driver's Routine Service Manual and several publications which will interest you. A physical inspection by you and/or your agent is cordially invited but by appointment please. I am asking $38,950 but I'll certainly look at your reasonable offer. Typically of classic cars, she is offered on the basis of "AS IS, WHERE IS" and in strict and sole accordance with the terms of a mutually agreed, written SALE/PURCHASE AGREEMENT and a formal BILL OF SALE. My Florida title for the car is clean and unencumbered. So, how does my car and price compare with other cars advertised recently and believed to be in similar condition? Here follows a list of everything comparable that I could find:- MG TF 1500. The same year as my car of which only 3,600 were manufactured and, being rare, should appreciate quickly:- 1955 MG TF 1500 offered privately @ $46,000 (eBay listing # 1217 0648 5834) 1955 MG TF 1500 offered privately @ $45,000 (Hemmings advert # 1760334) 1955 MG TF 1500 offered privately @ $45,000 (Hemmings advert # 1735882) 1955 MG TF 1500 offered by a dealer @ $39,500 (Hemmings advert # 1765818) 1955 MG TF 1500 offered by a dealer @ $34,500 (Hemmings advert # 1703844) .. and just for your interest, adverts for the MG TF 1250.

I think the MG TF is the most beautiful MG ever made! If you don't think so, please take another look at the photographs of my car.

At the rear, the exposed Fuel Tank and Spare Wheel Carrier were made more rakish with the rear Fenders sporting a shapelier flare to match. Overall, the TF was 3.5 inches longer, an inch wider and half an inch lower. Individual, adjustable Seats replaced the previous Bench Seat and there was a new, centrally located Instrument Panel featuring handsome Octagonal Gauges. It was initially well received but times had moved on. Production ceased in mid 1955 with B.M.C. needing to devote its time and energy towards production of the MG-A. Only 6,200 TF-1250's were manufactured with the majority coming to America to Canada and into Europe. Now about my car:- She was built between March 11 and 12 in 1954. It had then, as it has now, Car/Chassis (V.I.N.) Number HDC46/3984, Engine Number XPAGTF33797 and was exported by the factory to a dealer in the U.S. on March 15, 1954. Although she is a remarkable 60 years old, I am told she has only had three previous owners. As mentioned, the Odometer shows 21,992 miles and she is in excellent condition. However, she is not a "concours" car or a "trailer queen" and is by no means perfect but if you're looking for a car that you can confidently drive to and enter in your local car shows, she is it! Completely rust-free with the Undercarriage in excellent condition including all the visible Wooden Components. Bearing in mind her vintage, she has obviously been repainted. The Paintwork has the very minor scars of being driven but there are no dents. The Chromed Parts and the Manufacturer's Badges, etc., are original and in excellent condition. The Clock doesn't work (they never do!), the Horns both work but the Windshield Wipers – well, they are mainly for "entertainment" purposes - why would you take her out in the rain anyway! She has the minor fluid leaks that just go with the era. You know what they say, "if it doesn't leak, it's because there's no oil in it"! The under-hood Toolbox Lid displays several brass Plaques evidencing attendance at various car shows. The Engine starts instantaneously from cold with minor and short-lived use of the Choke and runs smoothly, idling at around 800 rpm and enthusiastically awaiting your use. She accelerates willingly with that gorgeous sound from the Exhaust. She changes smoothly through the Gears provided you are not too quick with your changes. First and Reverse are typically noisy, Moss, straight-cut, non-synchromesh gears. There is virtually no play in the Steering but please remember that the driving position is in the old "hit the horn button with your chest" style. The Steering is heavy (in those days there was no power assistance) and accentuated by the wider Tires which give her way above average roadholding. The "Emergency" Brake works as it should and the car's Brakes are also good but do require much more pressure than one is used to with modern cars (again, no power assistance). Similarly heavy, the Clutch can give you wheel spin at the start in First Gear if you wish, proof that the Clutch is good . All the Gauges, Switches and Lights have been checked and/or repaired/replaced and work as they should except the Clock, as mentioned. She has been comprehensively serviced including:- New Fluids. Needed Water Hoses replaced and the Radiator back-flushed and refilled. If you live anywhere but the tropics you will need to refill with anti-freeze. Fuel System professionally checked. Fuel Tank emptied and cleaned. Fuel Pump recently replaced. Carburetors cleaned and checked. Air Cleaners cleaned. New Points, Condenser and Plugs fitted. Generator and Voltage Regulator checked. Other items of interest:- Recent, new Battery fitted. Recently overhauled Starter Motor. Five brand new, Chromed, Wire Wheels just fitted. Five brand new 185 mm Michelin Tires just fitted. Brand new Koni Shock Absorbers have been fitted with the expensive conversion kits to improve the rear suspension and thus the road holding but the originally fitted Armstrong Shocks are still good and are included in the sale in case you want to convert back. There is a brand new Full Tonneau Cover, original Half Tonneau Cover (good condition) and a brand new Spare Wheel Cover. A brand new and expensive, chromed, rear Luggage Rack has been fitted. Brand new, Lucas PL700 Halogen Headlights have been fitted as have been of the era, vintage Lucas SLD/SPF576 Spot/Fog Lights and a Reversing Light. The latter lights are controlled from a dashboard-mounted Switch Panel with 2 extra, brass Switches for future use. Also a brand new Badge Bar with a brand new B.A.R.C. Club Badge. Twin, fender-mounted Wing Mirrors and twin, of the era, vintage Windscreen Wings. A battery cut-off switch for security purposes. She has the original Crank Handle; twin Hood Stays, an MG Jack with Crank and the correct, Thor, brass-headed Hammer for the chromed, Wire Wheel, Knock-on Hubs. On the passenger-side, Interior Valance a genuine antique, of the era, polished brass "Presto" Fire Extinguisher has been fitted in the correct bracket. As the retardant is now illegal, the contents have been evacuated, so the Extinguisher is for decorative purposes only. There is a full MG Toolkit and a spare Water Hose (with Clamps). Why the latter - I don't know, I just do it! The Hood is a recent, black canvas (important) replacement. The Frame is in good condition. All four Side Screens are in reasonable condition - the transparent, Vinyl Windows are aging but, as with the Windshield Wipers, why would you use them? Wrap them securely and put them in the attic where they belong. She also comes with an original Workshop Manual, the original Driver's Handbook (i.e. comprehensive), an old-style Driver's Routine Service Manual and several publications which will interest you. Just for fun there is a wicker Picnic Basket (internally fitted out and insulated) and an old-style driving helmet and a pair of racing goggles (both the latter the "theatrical/party" type). A physical inspection by you and/or your agent is cordially invited by appointment. I am asking $31,950 or near offer. Typically of classic cars, she is offered on the basis of "AS IS, WHERE IS" and in strict and sole accordance with the terms of a mutually agreed SALE/PURCHASE AGREEMENT and a formal BILL OF SALE. My Florida title for the car is clean. You'll probably have some questions so please don't hesitate to contact me - or maybe you just want to "car-chat"? My car is advertised locally so this listing can be cancelled at any time without prior notice.

MG : T-Series CONVERTIBLE 2-SEATER A REALLY BEAUTIFUL 1955 MG TF-1500 GROUND-UP RESTORATION WITH EVERY EXTRA
$38,950
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
I think the MG TF is the most beautiful MG ever made and I sincerely believe my "TF-1500" is the most beautiful of them all! If you don't think so, please take another look at the photographs of my car. Not only is my car gorgeous looking, it is NUMBERS MATCHING which will be evidenced by the British Motor Industries Heritage Trust I have applied for. The MG TF was manufactured from July 13, 1953 until April 4, 1955 with V.I.N.'s from HDA13/501 through HDC46/10100 - a production run of 9,600 of which only 3,400 were the TF-1500's. An extensive restoration of my car was carried out between August 2010 and January 2014 as evidenced by the car's really good condition. A binder with all the bills is available and will go with the car. I don't know if the exterior metallic silver is original to the car. It is not one of the 5 standard colors BMC offered but it was possible to order from the factory any color one wished for both the exterior and the interior. If the paintwork is not of the original color, it has certainly made the car even more beautiful. The black Leather Interior trim shows beautifully and does appear to be original and in excellent condition. The indicated mileage is 62,552. While I have no real reason to disbelieve it, I can't substantiate it either. The TF came into being when sales of the TD slumped with the introduction of the faster, more modern-looking and similarly priced Triumph TR2. Morris Garages, makers of MG cars, merged with the Nuffield Organization to form the British Motor Corporation (B.M.C.). Considerable funding had gone into the new Austin-Healey and, although designs for the MG-A existed, there was a shortage of liquid capital with which to put it into production. As a cost-efficient alternative, in 1953, the TF was introduced. Among the many changes; it had a sleeker Nose and a more graceful Tail. The Radiator was sloped back and the Hood-line inclined downwards to meet it. The Headlights were partially faired-in and the front Fender profile was modified. At the rear, the exposed Fuel Tank and Spare Wheel Carrier were made more rakish with the rear Fenders sporting a shapelier flare to match. Overall, the TF was 3.5 inches longer, an inch wider and half an inch lower. Individual, adjustable Seats replaced the previous Bench Seat and there was a new, centrally located Instrument Panel featuring handsome Octagonal Gauges. It was initially well received but times had moved on. Production ceased in mid 1955 with B.M.C. needing to devote its time and energy towards production of the MG-A. Only 3,400 TF-1500's were manufactured with the majority coming to America, to Canada and into Europe. Now about my car:- She was built in 1955, the B.M.I.H.T. certificate will give me the exact date. It had then, as it has now, Car/Chassis (V.I.N.) Number HDC46/8159, Engine Number XPEGTF2040 and Body Number TF18676. Although she is a remarkable 60 years old, she is in excellent, fully restored condition. However, she is not a "concours" car or a "trailer queen" and is by no means perfect but if you're looking for a car that you can confidently drive to and successfully enter in your local car shows, she is it! Completely rust-free with the Undercarriage in excellent condition including all the visible Wooden Components. Although she must have been repainted during her 60 year life; the Paintwork only has the very minor scars of being driven but there are no dents. The Chromed Parts and the Manufacturer's Badges, etc., are original and in excellent condition. The Clock doesn't work (they never do!), the Horns both work as do the Windshield Wipers – but I think the latter are mainly for "entertainment" purposes - why would you take her out in the rain anyway! She has the very minor fluid leaks that just go with the era. You know what they say, "if it doesn't leak, it's because there's no oil in it"! The Engine starts instantaneously from cold with minor and short-lived use of the Choke and runs smoothly, idling at around 800 rpm and enthusiastically awaiting your use. She accelerates willingly with that gorgeous sound from the Exhaust. She changes smoothly through the Gears provided you are not too quick with your changes. First and Reverse are typically noisy, Moss, straight-cut, non-synchromesh gears. There is virtually no play in the Steering but please remember that the driving position is in the old "hit the horn button with your chest" style. The Steering is heavy (in those days there was no power assistance). The "Emergency" Brake works as it should and the car's Brakes are also good but do require much more pressure than one is used to with modern cars (again, no power assistance). Similarly heavy, the Clutch can give you wheel spin at the start in First Gear if you wish, proof that the Clutch is good . All the Gauges, Switches and Lights have been checked and/or repaired/replaced and work as they should except the Clock, as mentioned. She has been comprehensively serviced including:- New Fluids. The Radiator back-flushed and refilled. Fuel System checked. Carburetors checked. Air Cleaners cleaned. New Points, Condenser and Plugs fitted. Generator and Voltage Regulator checked. Other items of interest:- Five chromed, Wire Wheels. Five Tires with plenty of miles ahead of them. A new, full, Tonneau Cover. New, twin, lap-type, Safety Belts. Brand new and expensive, chromed, rear Luggage Rack. Vintage Lucas SLD/SPF576 Spot/Fog Lights and a Reversing Light, have been fitted and stone guards have been fitted to the headlights. A brand new Badge Bar with brand new B.R.S.C.C. and MG Abingdon Badges. Twin, fender-mounted Wing Mirrors and twin, of the era, vintage Windscreen Wings. Battery cut-off switch for security. She has the original Crank Handle (secured behind seats); twin Hood Stays (unusual), an MG Jack with Crank and the correct, Thor, brass-headed Hammer for the chromed, Wire Wheel, Knock-on Hubs. On the passenger-side, Interior Valance a genuine antique, of the era, polished brass "Presto" mini Fire Extinguisher has been fitted in a bracket. As the retardant is now illegal, the contents have been evacuated, so the Extinguisher is for decorative purposes only. There is a full MG Toolkit. The Hood is a recent, black replacement. The Hood's Frame is in good condition. All four, black Side Screens, including the transparent vinyl, are in excellent condition - they come with something I have not seen before - black canvas screen guards which, I assume, are to be used to protect each from the other (sandwich fashion) when you wrap them securely and put them in the attic where they belong. She also comes with a Workshop Manual, an old-style Driver's Handbook (i.e. comprehensive) and Driver's Routine Service Manual and several publications which will interest you. Just for fun there is a vintage, wicker Picnic Basket. A physical inspection by you and/or your agent is cordially invited by appointment. I am asking $38,950 or near offer.
