1953 MG TF 1250

The MG TF 1250 is the original version of the MG TF Midget – a charming classic British sports car and the final “traditional” T-Series MG before the more modern MGA arrived.

Produced from late 1953 to March 1955, it blended timeless T-Series lines with updated front-end styling, including faired-in headlights and a sleek new grille.

Only around 6, 200 TF 1250s were ever built, making this a rare and desirable example.

This MG TF 1250 is offered as part of a private 8 car collection that is now being sold in its entirety. The collection consists of a carefully curated selection of classic MGs, together with one beautiful Morgan.

A firm favourite in the collection and very well maintained, this car drives beautifully.

Finished in a lovely Burgundy with beige interior, it offers that pure wind-in-your-hair experience, typical of 1950s British sports cars.

This special classic deserves an owner who will continue the high standard of care it has received throughout its life. Highly sought after by enthusiasts for its vintage charm and everyday usability.
