The Appeal
The final TF Midget introduced more modern, flowing lines and was the last of MG’s traditionally styled models. It makes a great, easy-to-own alternative to certain Malvern-based alternatives.
For MG fans, this car is a series find. We’re told that it has been in the same family from new, logging just three keepers over its 72 years. It looks very original, sporting a popular red over tan colour scheme, and comes with a vast history file including the original bill of sale.
MG switched from 1250cc to 1500cc power in mid 1954. As a March 1954 registered car this one is logged as a Midget 1500 with DVLA but records indicate that it is fitted with the 1,250cc XPAG engine.
We are told that the car has been garage stored and regularly serviced throughout its life. The interior has been professionally retrimmed using correct MG fittings, fixtures, and leather. The vendor states that it drives beautifully. For those seeking a well-documented, family-kept Midget with strong provenance and careful stewardship, this is one well worth considering.
