1955 MGTF 1500

1955 MG‑TF 1500 Roadster – Rare Final‑Series Model with New Top, Local Provenance

The Stable, Ltd. of Califon, New Jersey, is proud to offer an exceptional 1955 MG‑TF 1500 roadster, the rare and highly desirable final evolution of the MG‑T series. This particular MG‑TF comes to us from a longtime local owner—our town’s retiring mayor—who cherished the car before relocating South. Its combination of originality, documented local history makes it one of the most appealing MG‑TF 1500 examples to come to market.

A Rare and Sought‑After “1500” Model

The MG‑TF 1500 represents the ultimate development of the classic MG‑T line, offering:

• The more powerful 1466cc XPAG engine
• Improved drivability over earlier TF 1250 models
• Limited production numbers (making surviving examples especially collectible)

Collectors consistently seek out the 1500 for its stronger performance, refined engineering, and status as the final chapter of MG’s traditional roadster era.

Local Ownership & Provenance

Provenance matters—and this example has a story worth telling. We acquired the car directly from our local mayor, a longtime local resident who maintained the MG with pride. Upon his retirement and move South, he entrusted the car to us. This kind of local, well‑documented ownership history is increasingly rare and adds meaningful value for collectors.

Classic British Roadster Character

The 1955 MG‑TF 1500 delivers everything enthusiasts love about mid‑century British motoring:

• Handsome flowing fenders
• Wire wheels
• A cockpit that blends simplicity with charm

It remains one of the most iconic and photogenic British sports cars of the 1950s.

Ideal for Collectors, Drivers, and Vintage Enthusiasts

Whether you’re seeking:

• A collectible MG with strong appreciation potential
• A charming weekend roadster
• A locally owned classic with authentic history
• A final‑series MG‑TF 1500 with fresh cosmetic updates

…this example checks all the boxes.
