The MG T-Type TF was built from 1953 to 1955.
The TF 1500, the most traded version: The MG TF 1500 represented the final flowering of the traditional T-series design, featuring a more powerful 1.5-liter engine and subtle styling refinements that modernized the classic formula. The sloping grille, integrated headlights, and optional wire wheels created MG's most elegant prewar-style sports car, while the larger XPEG engine provided noticeably improved performance over the TD. With only 9,600 examples produced during its brief two-year run, the TF 1500 is among the rarest production T-series cars. The model's significance extends beyond rarity – it marked the end of an era before the revolutionary MGA introduced modern styling to Abingdon. Today's collectors prize TF 1500s for their combination of classic MG character and improved usability, with values reflecting both their scarcity and their position as the ultimate expression of traditional MG design philosophy.
