Last of the MG T-series line, the TF was introduced in October 1953. Although mechanically near identical to its TD predecessor, the provision of a raked radiator, revised wing line and faired-in headlamps lent it an altogether sleeker and sportier air. Powered by a revised version of the well-proven, four-cylinder XPAG engine but this time using larger valves, a higher compression ratio and twin SU 1.5in carburettors, the new model was reputedly capable of over 80mph. Equipped with both rack-and-pinion steering and independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, it helped maintain the marque's 'Safety Fast' reputation. Around 6,200 TF1250s were made, followed by 3,400 1500s.

Chassis number 'TF31934' was manufactured as an export model in left-hand drive guise, and is known to have spent a period of its life in Long Beach, California before being repatriated to the United Kingdom in 2004. Upon arrival, the previous keeper provided the TF with a comprehensive restoration, including the fitment of a four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox, enhancing the usability of '370 XUS'. Finished in an attractive colour combination of Grey paintwork with Red interior upholstery, the MG features Black weather equipment. Registered back on British roads in 2009 and residing in current registered ownership since then, the TF has since been a feature of events including the 33rd MG South Down Run last year, in which the vendor informs it finished at Eastbourne 'in grand style'. Rated by the vendor as having an 'excellent' gearbox, 'very good' bodywork, engine, electrical equipment and interior trim, and the paintwork is rated as by the vendor as 'good'.
