Following WWII, the first British sports car to capture American hearts was the MG TC, which featured the overhead valve XPAG engine first developed for the practically stillborn prewar TB. The TC’s success inspired the TD, which debuted in 1949 specifically for the U.S. market with improved handling and, for the first time, left-hand drive. The TF, which followed in late 1953, represented a major stylistic evolution with its integrated headlamps, new bonnet, sloping hoodline and raked radiator grille.
While the TF faced stiff criticism from some, America’s motoring press welcomed it warmly. In its December 1954 issue, Road & Track stated, “after last year’s test we asked if the TF was really that good. It is, and more. Even though the MG is the lowest priced sports car on the market, it is the accepted standard of comparison.” Today, the TF has proven to be perhaps the most desirable of the T-Series cars, as it clearly marked the end of an era
The TF's are the last, best, and often deemed the most collectible of the T-Series MG's. As well as being collectible, they are also great to drive and beg to be used on the open road!
