My 1953 M.G. TF was the 37th one made. Built on the first day of production - 17th September 1953 she spent most of her life in Pennsylvania and Colorado in the hands of Tom & Shirley Macurdy. Since her return to the UK in 1991 she has enjoyed regular vigorous exercise as these pictures show :- | |
As you will see she's a 'left hooker', as were 80% of the TFs built. We're active members of the South West Centre of the M.G. Car Club and together we managed to win the South West Drivers Championship three times but even more impressively we won the MG Car Club Speed Championship in 2001. To do so we amassed 94 out of a possible 96 points, beat ~ 100 other MGs, traveled nearly 4,000 miles competing at such venues as Prescott, Goodwood, Silverstone, Shelsley Walsh and Wiscombe.

And the everyday car, well this month its a nice TT Roadster replacing a run of MGTFs which in turn replaced a much loved 1995 MGF recently damaged beyond economic repair by my wife. The old red F enjoyed a bit of competition too, winning the 1997 MGCC "F of the Year" and the MGF Class in the 1997 MGCC Speed Championship | |
