A Classic MG TF Midget, on display at the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich. The TF Midget, launched 15 October 1953, [10] was a facelifted TD, fitted with the TD Mark II engine, headlights faired into the fenders, a sloping radiator grille concealing a separate radiator, and a new pressurized cooling system along with a simulated external radiator cap.[1] This XPAG engine's compression ratio had been increased to 8 to 1 and extra large valves with stronger valve springs and twin carburettors increased output to 57.5 b.h.p. at 5, 500 r.p.m.[10] In mid-1954 the engine output was increased more than 10%. Now designated XPEG it was enlarged to 1466 cc by increasing the bore to 72 mm (2.8 in) and compression raised to 8.3:1 giving 63 bhp (47 kW) at 5, 000 rpm. The car was now designated TF1500 and externally distinguished by a cream background enamel nameplate on the sides of the bonnet placed just to the rear of the forward bonnet release-buttons. Production ended on 4 April 1955 after 9, 602 TFs had been manufactured, including two prototypes and 3, 400 TF1500s. The TF was superseded by the MGA.
