The
MG TF was introduced in the year 1953 as successor of the MG TD.
The MG TF was the last MG model based on the pre-war models.
Like the MG TA, TC and TD models most of the cars were sold in
the USA.
Chassis and body of the MG TF were similar to the TD with some
changes:
The TF became larger doors, integrated headlamps to the wings,
and a more slanted radiator. Other changes were found in the
interior: two separate seats, a new dashboard with new clocks.
Technically everything still matched the MG TD, so the car was
fitted with rack and pinion steering-gear, coil springs
(instead of the leaf springs) and an independent wheel
suspension in the front.
The
MG TF 1250 was built in the years 1953 and 1954. In 1954 the MG
TF 1500 (MK II) was introduced. The MG TF was succeeded in 1955
by the revolutionary different MGA.
