Jim J Posted June 16, 2020 Share #13161 Â Posted June 16, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hektor, I was waiting for Graham to pose the obvious question but, as he hasn't turned up to do so, I'll ask it. Â You said it wasn't a 4 seater Morgan, and not that it wasn't a Morgan. Â And it really looks like a Morgan. Â So, is it a 2 seater Morgan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hektor Posted June 16, 2020 Share #13162  Posted June 16, 2020 Good evening Jim, The car is not a Morgan of any type. Over 9,600 were made between 1953 and 1955. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted June 16, 2020 Share #13164 Â Posted June 16, 2020 I would guess maybe an HRG but I don't think that many were made and HRG's were made for rather longer than that, so maybe an MG TD Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted June 16, 2020 Share #13165 Â Posted June 16, 2020 Or rather an MG TF Roadster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted June 16, 2020 Share #13166  Posted June 16, 2020 Or  a Singer maybe?.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted June 16, 2020 Share #13167  Posted June 16, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Nigel I think by that time (53-55), they were only making the Mr .Blobby SM saloons, where the last remnant of the real Singer was the rather nice OHC 1500 engines, as used in HRG sports cars. This was replaced in the next model by the usual Rootes group fare. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.j.z Posted June 16, 2020 Share #13172 Â Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) I had suggested MG TF Roadster? Edited June 16, 2020 by a.j.z Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim J Posted June 17, 2020 Share #13173 Â Posted June 17, 2020 A TA with rear lights from a TD? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted June 17, 2020 Share #13174  Posted June 17, 2020 On second thought, the TF was produced just in 1954 and 1955, giving way to the A. Perhaps something from Sunbeam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted June 17, 2020 Share #13176  Posted June 17, 2020 Hektor, Did the TF 1500 have an XPAG engine or had they changed to the cheaper BMC B series engine, as used in the MGA? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
