1954 or 1955 MG TF? |
|

Registration, if genuine, dates from 1956. In that case it's a TF1500. |

Grrreat! (No reason to doubt of registration authencity.) |

"1955" plutôt, non ? Je lis sur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_TF_Midget#TF_and_TF_1500_Midget "In mid-1954 the engine capacity was increased by 17% to 1466cc and designated XPEG. (…) The car was now designated TF1500 and externally distinguished by a cream background enamel nameplate on both sides of the bonnet, placed just to the rear of the forward bonnet release-buttons. Production ended at chassis number TF10100 on 4 April 1955…" |

I was going by http://plaque.free.fr/f_1950s.html . It may have spent some time in the showroom .gif ":)") |

Yep. (Or went early second hand.) I guess that the car can't be dated 1956, right?, since the production stopped in first half of '55. |

You're quite right; it was careless of me not to notice that in the Wikipedia entry. It probably migrated from 06 or somewhere to 75 ... |

Probable, yes. Nice car. By the way, the Midget name was unofficial, then? |

No, official, slightly to my surprise. In practice I think that when Midgets started growing - with the TD and TF/TF 1500 - people tended to drop the Midget, as they were no longer really midgets. I note that on IMCDb neither of these models are defined as Midgets, unlike TAs and TCs. |
