1954 MG TF 1500 ................ $32,500
 

Although registered in California as a 1954 car, this is a genuine XPEG-engined 1500 with matching numbers. Apparently the original selling dealer didn't take advantage of the fact that it was a 1955 model when it was sold! It has always been a southern California car, owned by an enthusiastic, active MG club member.

The car was restored some years ago with exquisite attention to detail. The brakes have recently been overhauled and a pair of Lucas driving lights have been fitted in place of the ones shown in the pictures. During its life, the car won numerous awards in car shows and has always been cherished by its owner. It runs and drives perfectly and, as the pictures show, it is a beautiful example of this, MG's final version of the classic body style sports car. To restore a TF 1500 to this condition in today's economy would cost substantially more than the asking price of $32,500 o.b.o., so we believe this is an excellent buy.

The car still lives in Southern California and is for sale due to the passing of its long-time owner. Questions about the car can be answered by and offers made to his son Bill Cooke (310-213-1957).
