47 year heartfelt restoration of a magnificent example of the iconic MG TF 1500

This 1955 MG TF 1500 is a left-hand-drive CKD example that was purchased in 1971 by the late owner, who began a refurbishment process that was eventually completed in 2014. Finished in red with a tan soft top over tan leather upholstery, the car is powered by a 1.5-liter XPEG inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include dual SU carburetors, 15″ wire wheels, chrome bumpers, fender-mounted mirrors, and driving lights.
The car was repainted in red during the aforementioned refurbishment, which involved disassembling the vehicle and replacing some structural wood pieces. The tan soft top was replaced in 2020 and is complemented by matching side curtains. Other features include a clear Lucas driving light, a yellow GE driving light, fender-mounted mirrors, a folding windshield, running boards, rear-hinged doors, and chrome front and rear bumpers

Replacement chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels with knock-off hubs are mounted with Radial Widetrack tires measuring 165R15, and a matching spare is affixed to the rear. The suspension was rebuilt during the refurbishment. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums.
The cabin was overhauled during the refurbishment and features low-back bucket seats trimmed in tan leather that are complemented by a color-coordinated dash pad and door panels. Interior appointments include black carpeting, engine-turned bright doorsill covers, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a passenger grab handle, dual dashboard storage compartments, and door-panel map pockets.
The banjo-style steering wheel fronts Jaeger instrumentation consisting of a 170-km/h speedometer with an inset clock, a tachometer, and a combination gauge for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 93k kilometers (~58k miles),
Four handwritten notebooks documenting the refurbishment that commenced in 1971 and resumed around 2009 are included in the sale.
