1954 MG TF Midget £ 19,950

This TF Midget was manufactured in February 1954 as a LHD, North American export model, finished in red with a red interior – as confirmed by the BMIHT certificate held for the car. We believe it was despatched to California later that year (the Operation Manual carries a Californian distributors name) but know nothing further of its history until 1988, when it was imported and re-registered in Guernsey. The current mechanic owner bought the car in 1999 and carried out a professional conversion to right hand drive.

More recently, ill health has seen the Midget in storage for a few years and, although it is in working order, it would benefit from a little work to return it to a first-class condition.

The car runs and drives well but, given it has been unused for a little while, some light re-commissioning work would be advisable. The conversion to right hand drive looks very well executed and the Midget has a brake servo fitted, making it easier to use in modern traffic conditions.

The chassis is sound with just a little surface rust visible in places. We don’t know when the change to a Cream colour scheme was carried out, but it still looks good, showing just a few marks and blemishes here and there. The chrome wire wheels are in good condition, as is all the external brightwork and the folding hood.

We believe the interior must have been extensively refurbished at some point and it remains in good condition today. A Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel is fitted.

This is a very tidy and presentable TF Midget, which runs and drives well and could, with a little cosmetic and mechanical TLC, become a first-rate example.

The car is currently Guernsey registered and the Guernsey registration number is not included in the sale. We can assist with shipping and importation processes if required.
