The TF was essentially a stop gap car to keep production going until the new MGA would be approved for production by the BMC hierarchy which did not want a car that would compete with the Austin-Healey. The TF launched in 1953 was a facelifted TD with a sloping grille and the headlights in the wings. The external radiator cap was now a dummy as a pressurised system was fitted to better cope with hot climates.

In 1954 the engine was re-designated XPEG and enlarged to 1466 cc by increasing the bore to 72 mm giving 63 bhp (47 kW) at 5500 rpm and the car designated the TF 1500.
The last cars were made in 1955 when it was replaced by the MGA after approximately 9600 were made including 3400 of the TF 1500 |
