Numbers are at their highest recorded level since the model first appeared in our data in 2014 Q3. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 5 (0.5%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it.

About the TD/TF
The MG T-Type is a series of body-on-frame open two-seater sports cars that were produced by MG from 1936 to 1955. Known as the Midget, the series included the TA, TB, TC, TD, and TF models. Although the design was contemporary in the 1930s, it had grown outdated by the 1950s, and was replaced by the all new MGA in 1955. The TF name was reinstated in 2002 on the mid-engined MG TF sports car.
