it was also owned by William Morris, later Lord Nuffield. When Cecil Kimber became its general
manager in 1922, the firm started modifying standard Morris Cowleys, lowering the chassis and
fitting more sporting bodywork.
Something had to be done about the flagging sales of the TD, but all that could be done at the time was
to give it a facelift. Hence, the MG TF Midget was introduced in 1953. Essentially this car was the same
as the TD, having the same form of chassis, suspension, brakes, steering, engine, and transmission.
The bodywork displayed the most changes, although it still had that un-mistakable and by now
old- fashioned MG style.
The TF 1200 still performed poorly compared to other sports cars of the period. In 1955 MG came out
with a more powerful 1500 cc engine that replaced the tiring 1250 cc engine of past T Series cars.
