This 1954 MG TF was acquired by the current owner’s father in 1973 and was subsequently refurbished. The car is finished in black over red leather and is powered by a 1,250cc XPAG inline-four that was overbored to 1,500cc. Equipment includes a four-speed manual transmission, a white soft top, 15″ wire wheels, chrome bumpers, running boards, rear-hinged doors, a fender-mounted mirror, driving lights, seat belts, side curtains, and a folding windshield. This TF is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner at no reserve with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, the owner’s manual, service records, a car cover, a tool kit, an engine crank, and a clean Minnesota title.
