There’s a segment of people who don’t want large sports cars with immense engines and vulgar horsepower figures. They don’t crave for sizable bodies and significant bulk. Instead, they prefer the lightness and simplicity of the traditional British roadster. There are plenty of fine examples from myriad manufacturers to pick, and today, we’ve got one from Morris Garages, or MG for short. This 1955 MG TF comes from their T-Type lineage of 1936 to 1955. So, it’s from the last year of production of the series, and has traveled almost 80,000 miles so far. Having undergone a full restoration and with a car cover included in the sale, this fine British roadster awaits a new owner in Lexington, Virginia.
Exterior and Interior
British Racing Green is a suitably fitting color for this 1955 MG TF, as it’s not only period correct, but has sporting connotations as well. Riding on a set of nice period wire wheels and whitewall tires, the car is not only open-topped, but open-sided to a certain degree as well. However, you’ve got a full set of coverings for it, including a black canvas top, side curtains and even a tonneau cover. We’re also told that the car bears a sound chassis and wood, banishing any woes about longevity or hidden rot. Take a few moments to appreciate its graceful curves, external running boards, and rear-mounted spare tire with luggage rack before we check out the interior. The interior is also in green, with two low-back seats facing a simple dashboard. The driver enjoys a wood-rimmed steering wheel and manual gear shifter, with three pedals, including an interesting, roller-styled throttle pedal. The gauge cluster is located in the center console, easily visible by either occupant of this British sports car. It’s pretty comprehensive, with octagonal-shaped gauges showing speed, engine revs, water temperature, oil pressure and battery amperage. Look closer and you’ll even see a clock within the speedometer!
Engine
With its 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, you might expect this 1955 MG TF to be slow, but its light weight somewhat mitigates that. Plus, the car has a 4-speed manual transmission and is rear-wheel drive, so you can have quite a bit of fun with it. Remember that it’s far more fun to drive flat-out all the time, than be restricted to using just 10 or 15 percent of the power on hand. That’s what British roadsters offer – flat-out motoring well within the speed limits.
