MG T-Series White with Red Interior (1952)
for sale

Price: US $15,000.00

Description:

This is a very nice 1952 MG TD. Newly painted and new upholstery and interior. No rust, all wood in good condition. Engine runs very well and the transmission also has no issues. Odometer shows 35, 400 miles, but I don't know if this is original mileage or turned over past 100, 000 mile mark. The original 5:12 ratio rear axle gears have been changed to 4:55, so the car cruises at 60 MPH effortlessly, can go faster, but more importantly the RPM's are cut down at cruise so fuel economy is better and the engine is under less strain at speed. All instruments work properly, including the clock in the speedometer, although after the interior work, the 12-volt lead was not connected to the clock, so that has to be done. The clock was overhauled in 2013. The top and side windows are in very good condition. The side windows are not fitting absolutely properly, and need to be fiddled with until they look better fitted. After the car was disassembled and put back together after painting, I think they weren't careful enough with fitting everything perfectly aligned. Clearly, it looks great now but could look better if you're a perfectionist, just needs some TLC in re-aligning stuff to be perfect. One of the good things about this car is that it is an over 60-year old antique, but Moss Motors, a company which specializes in old British sports car parts, supplies any part you could possibly need, so maintenance is EASY on this classic car, no spending days on the computer or the phone trying to track down parts. I will include some extras with the car. I have some special wrenches and sockets, because although much of the original hardware has been changed to standard there is still a lot of the original hardware which is some goofy British spec, neither standard metric nor SAE fractional sizes, so you'll find some bolts and nuts for which a metric wrench is too small and the fractional wrench is too big! Made sense to the Brits, I guess, but so does warm beer...In any event, you'll have the tools you need. I'm also including various manuals: original maintenance and shop manuals, restoration manual, and owner's manual. These are original' in that they have been printed to resemble the original manuals, but are actually modern printings, so they are in good shape. Also included is a heater unit. This was an unusual option in 1952, and is not installed in the car. If you connect a 12 volt source to it the fan runs well, and the rheostat adjusts the fan speed well, but I cannot vouch for the rest of it. It was sold to me as being in perfect shape, but I never got around to installing it (I live in Florida) so I can't guarantee it won't leak. Nice rare piece for this car, though. Please see the pictures, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking.
