MG TD & TF 1949-1955
Gold Portfolio
Anotace
The T-Series Midgets were well established both at home in Britain and across the Atlantic in the USA by the time Abingdon came up with the TD in 1949. It both shocked and disappointed many traditional MG enthusiasts because it left behind many of the anachronistic features of its forebears, but it successfully recruited a whole army of new converts to the MG cause. In three years, Abingdon shipped nearly three times as many examples of the TD Midget as it had built of the car's TC predecessor in the same timespan. However, the TF which succeeded the TD was nowhere near as successful. Even more modern styling (though still upright enough to recall the classic Midgets of the 1930s) should have endeared it to a new generation of buyers who had been too young to buy its ancestors. But sports car design had moved on. Abingdon hastily upgraded the car's performance by fitting a 1500cc engine in place of the original 1250cc type, but the TF did not last. Fewer that 10,000 examples were built in the two years and the new and radically different MGA arrived in 1955 to cater for a new breed of buyer. Today, the TD and TF models have a strong following in the classic car scene, and the articles reproduced in this book will appeal to all those who have an interest in the last of the wings-and-running -boards MGs. They also constitute a fascinating fund of archive material which is simply not available anywhere else.
