The Appeal

The MG TF evocation recreates the swept-wing charm of the iconic 1950s roadster in a package built around more modern, accessible mechanicals. Based on a 1979 Ford Escort Ghia according to the V5C, this recreation pairs a 1,599cc four-cylinder engine with a four-speed manual gearbox, offering classic open-top motoring without the upkeep demands of a genuine early post-war sports car. It is important to note that this is not a genuine 1950s MG TF, but rather a period-style recreation.

This particular example has had just two former registered keepers and has been garage stored, showing only approximately 3,442 miles on the odometer, though this figure is unwarranted. The silver paintwork with chrome trim presents well for its age, carrying only minor marks and light scratches consistent with long-term storage. Inside, the black interior with wood dashboard trim and a Moto-Lita steering wheel appears in very good order. We are told that the car has recently been serviced and that mechanical adjustments have been carried out. For those drawn to classic styling and the thrill of open-air motoring with the reassurance of readily available parts, this TF evocation warrants a closer look.
