Model history

The MG T series, produced from 1936 to 1955, comprised the TA to TF models and characterized the classic roadster design. The MG TF, built from 1953 to 1955, was given a modernized look, but was technically based on its predecessor, the TD. As the concept was outdated in the 1950s, MG replaced the series with the MGA in 1955. In 2002, the name "TF" returned for a new mid-engined sports car.
