Beautiful, Nicely Kept 1955 MG TF 1500 Roadster
New to our Benicia showroom is this beautiful 1955 MG TF 1500 2 Door Roadster with gorgeous silver & black exterior paint and a premium red leather interior. The current owner tells us that you’ll find the factory original 1466 cc four-cylinder engine under the hood along with a matching 4-speed manual transmission and this highly desirable classic is in tremendous condition both inside and out. It has a mere 2,000 miles on the rebuilt drivetrain as well and you won’t find a better driving MG TF example anywhere at the current asking price.
Super Clean & Enjoyed by Same Owner Since 1955
This 1955 MG TF Roadster is particularly desirable since it was the final production year of the TF line- adding more powerful factory motor, new front end exterior styling and an upgraded interior. This particular example has been enjoyed by two lifetime owners; the first of which purchased it new in Berkley, California and sold it locally only a few months later. The 2nd owner has enjoyed it since 1955 and tells us that he’s always maintained it at the highest possible standards. It underwent a full restoration back in 1981 and shows very nicely in person today.
Additionally, this 1955 MG TF Roadster has a near flawless body with beautiful flowing body lines and above average exterior paint with only a few minor blemishes. The interior has also been kept at a very high level with minor signs of wear- the factory instrument cluster is clean and unblemished. You’ll also find a nicely kept engine bay that would need very little refreshing to be brought back to show quality. Most would consider this example a very high end driver to be enjoyed at local parades and car shows.
Outstanding Ride Quality from Factory Drivetrain
Overall, this prestigious 1955 MG TF 1500 2 Door Roadster is a gorgeous, highly original classic that’s ready to be driven and enjoyed right away. With excellent lifetime documentation and excellent care, you’d be hard pressed to find a more impressive example anywhere at the current asking price.
