MG TF

The MG TF was the last of the legendary T-Type Midgets, serving as a stylish stopgap between the TD and the modern MGA. Introduced in 1953, the TF featured a more streamlined design with faired-in headlights, a raked grille, and individual bucket seats. It was initially offered with the 1,250 cc XPAG engine from the TD, but this was updated in 1954 to the more powerful 1,466 cc XPEG engine in the TF 1500, which is the more desirable version today.

The TF represents the end of an era for MG, marking the final use of the pre-war style body-on-frame chassis and upright styling. Collectors appreciate it for this unique position, combining the charm of its predecessors with slightly improved road manners. It's a car that delivers a pure, vintage driving experience, making it a favorite for weekend drives and club events. The simple mechanicals and excellent parts availability also make it a relatively easy classic to own and maintain.

The market for the MG TF is mature and stable, with an average price hovering in the mid-$20,000s. The wide price range reflects the vast difference between tired projects and professionally restored, concours-quality cars. While values aren't climbing rapidly, the TF's timeless appeal ensures it remains a consistently sought-after British classic.

Prices for the MG TF range from $4,550 for project cars to $49,900 for concours-level examples.
