We are delighted to welcome this lovely MG TF1250 back into stock following 2 years of enjoyable motoring since we last sold it in July of 2023. FO 7394 is a home market, UK supplied MG TF 1250 that has an incredible history file spanning the best part of 60 years. From a copy of the original "brown" logbook we know the MG was owned by a Mr Bradshaw in 1962 who was based in London N12, and in 1965 it sold a Mr Thomson, also in North London. It was this owner, and family who then owned the car for the next 54 years, parting with the car in 2019 where it came into the ownership of its most recent owner, one of our long term customers. The file of history does make fascinating reading and goes into huge detail throughout the cars life. Invoices for maintenance and repair work are on file from the 1960's and include a major engine rebuild invoice dated 28th October that included regrinding the crankshaft, new pistons, main and big end bearings and re-metalling con rods. A file of further invoices between 1965 and the early 1970's support the cars first restoration with a large amount of work carried out by MG specialists Toulmin Motors in Hounslow that included rebuilding the rear axle, rebuilding the gearbox and major work was carried out by Metalion Limited in Willesden, North London that included stripping the bare chassis, sand blasting it, zinc spraying and then finishing it in stoved Black enamel. By 1974 the MG was with Popplewell's Coach Works Ltd in Epping for metal work and re-spraying and pages of invoices detail mechanical re-commissioning and restoration work. Now forward onto 1980, and the cars long term owner took the MG to a renowned MG specialists Brown and Gammons for a further restoration. The body and panels were dismantled from the car, rebuilt as required and the running gear completely overhauled. Original estimates and invoices for the work are with the car. Having carried out major work to the body frame, panels were restored as required and once built back up the car was completely re-sprayed. The engine and gearbox were once again stripped, and the brakes, suspension and steering overhauled. Maintenance invoices are on file throughout the 1980's and 1990's, and in 2006 MG people Beech Hill Garage carried out another major engine rebuild, they also converted the cylinder head to run on unleaded and fitted a new clutch. From 2008 to 2015 the MG was taken by its long term owner to France and the car was used for on the continent use and touring. Shortly after its return to the UK in 2017, many years on since its most recent restoration, the MG was taken to a specialist Bodyshop for a re-paint and detailed working costing almost £8000 ensuring the MG has a lovely, gleaming paint finish prior to parting with the car after over 50 years. There's no doubt FO 7394 has an exceptional history, and with one owner for the majority of its life it was regularly used but maintained with no expense spared. The MG has arrived with us in beautiful condition with an excellent straight chassis, lovely bodywork throughout and a gorgeous six year old paint finish. The chrome work is impressive, the interior stunning and the detail is very good with a smart engine bay and clean underside. The MG TF 1250 comes with full weather equipment and on the road does not disappoint with a fabulous, strong engine holding excellent oil pressure, slick gearbox and it handles and holds the road delightfully. This is a fantastic usable example ideal for shows and events and it will not be easy finding another TF with such impressive history and clear evidence that its owners have spent thousands of pounds on this car ensuring throughout the past 60 years it has been kept in top quality mechanical condition, and cosmetically kept up too to ensure it can be driven and parked up anywhere with pride.
