1955 MG TF 1500 ROADSTER - MANUAL - 36,236 MILES SHOWING
The 1955 MG TF 1500 Roadster is a classic British sports car, featuring a 1,466 cc XPEG inline-four engine producing 63bhp (47Kw).
The car was designated TF1500, and externally distinguished by a cream background enamel nameplate on both sides of the bonnet, placed just to the rear of the forward bonnet-release buttons.
Only about 3,400 units were produced between 1954 and 1955, making it the rarest of the post-war T-series MGs.
It is characterized by its 4-speed manual transmission, rack and pinion steering, and a top speed of roughly 145kph.
This lovely example presents in Red with Tan interior trim.
A matching numbers car delivered new in Melbourne in 1955.
We hold considerable records of it's earlier life both in Victoria and now under current South Australian ownership.
Powered by that XPEG 1.5 Litre 4 cylinder engine, it produced 47kw and 106Nm of power and torque, delivered to the rear wheels via a 4 speed manual gearbox. Performance figures suggested at the time of release 0-100kph in 18.0 secs and top speed near 140kph.
Performance wasn't the key feature of the TF, rather it was an extension in the prettiest form of the pre-war T series and more about touring the lovely English or Australian country lanes with the wind in your hair and smell of spring.
Currently on Historic registration in South Australia, this is not transferable, however it would be eligible for similar schemes in other jurisdictions.
The current SA plates "TF" may be available if the car is car is sold to another SA resident.
Available to admire on our state of the art showroom floor in Adelaide.
We can arrange transport door to door Australia wide, or you might like to drive it down another country lane to your abode.
Finance - our broker offers VERY competitive rates and prompt service.
We welcome the opportunity to consider your trade in.
