The last MG to really show the marques heritage, the TF was launched in October 1953. Designed in response to the decrease in sales of the TD, the TF served as the last of the T-series Midget cars before the MGA was launched in the fall of 1955. The TF featured the same frame and drivetrain as the TD, however a slight face-lift was applied to the design. The front fenders were reshaped to incorporate the headlights, taking away the T-series, pre-war appearance. MG also shortened and raked the front grill, which allowed the hood to sit lower and improve aerodynamics. On the inside, individual bucket seats were now standard which helped to give the driver and passenger a sportier feel. The proven XPAG engine was given the Mark II TD treatment with larger carburetors, an increased compression ratio and larger valves, which increased power output to 58hp. Beginning in 1954 a performance version of the TF was introduced, called the TF 1500. The new model shared the same timeless style as the original TF, while having been fitted with an enlarged 1.5 litre engine rated at 63hp. The TF 1500 is widely considered to be one of the most collectable of the T-series MG cars and only 3,400 were produced before the TF ended production in 1955.
