The Naylor & Hutson TF 1700 Story Only £6.50  incl p&p (UK) THE NAYLOR CAR CLUB Formed in 1994 to further interest in Naylor and Hutson TF 1700 cars Home Events Facilities Membership Cars for Sale Gallery TF 1700 Story Links Members

 The TF 1700 cars were inspired by the MG TF built at Abingdon during the 1950s.

The club arranges social events, meetings, discussions, tours and road runs as well as providing a forum for the exchange of information about the cars.  Activities and matters of general and technical interest are provided through the Club magazine and this site.

The TF 1700 was hand built by Naylor Bros plc in Bradford and later by the Hutson Car Co.  They were developed as an improved form of the original with increased power and improved suspension and braking. 100 cars carrying the Naylor badge were produced in 1985/86. They were fully type approved and had full backing from the Austin Rover Group.

The chassis is steel and the body, mounted on an ash frame, has steel panels. Unlike the MG TF, in order to meet legislative requirements, the doors have forward hinges and the instruments are in front of the driver.  The engine is an Austin Rover "O" series 1700cc producing 77 BHP at 5180 rpm.

In 1986 Naylor Cars plc were acquired by the Hutson Car Co and a further 61 cars with the Hutson badge were produced.

The Club is affiliated to the RAC Motor Sports Association and is organised into regions, Thames, Western, South Western, Anglia and Northern who arrange meetings and events.

As well as a mutual interest in the cars the Club provides a social network so that members and their partners can enjoy themselves with no element of competition, apart from a well polished motor

The club maintains a register and is keen to trace all surviving cars.

We welcome reports of sightings.
