1953 MGTD For Sale

The 1950 MG TD announced in January 1950 combined the TC's drivetrain, a modified hypoid geared rear axle, the MG Y type chassis, a familiar T type style body and independent suspension using coil springs from the MG Y type saloon. A 1950 road-test report described as "most striking" the resulting "transformation in the comfort of riding." In addition the TD featured smaller 15 inch disc type road wheels and standard equipment bumpers and over-riders. The car was also 5 inches wider with a track of 50 inches. Nearly 30, 000 TDs had been produced when the series ended in 1953 with all but 1656 exported, 23, 488 of them to the US alone. An example tested by The Motor magazine in 1952 had a top speed of 77 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 18. 2 seconds with fuel consumption of 22. 2 miles per gallon.

This particular MGTD has had just 2 owners and has been with the same family since 1959. We performed a full frame up restoration on this TD for the family in 1999, so the matriarch could have a last experience in it. The show quality restoration was done to authentic specifications which included the tan leather interior, and canvas top, tonneau cover & side curtains. The tan vinyl dash covering and matching tan grille slats were period correct as well. This TD has a factory heater as well as an original jack, handle, hand tools, engine crank, and owners manual & shop manual furnished with the car. The car has done just over 6k miles in the past 18 years and has recently been serviced in our shop. Fluids, brakes, carbs, engine, and tuning were all freshened. This is the last production year for the beloved MGTD presented in the most iconic color combination. It is a pleasure drive and would be a hit at any show!
