This gorgeous MGTD was originally a very low miles, Arizona car
which was totally rust free and clean. It has recently undergone a 3 year, frame off nuts and bolts restoration. The cost of such a restoration can well exceed $40, 000. Literally no expense spared.
Each and every component of the automobile was either
professionally rebuilt and or replaced with new.
The original engine and transmission since they were in excellent
original condition did not require rebuild and were inspected and serviced
before reinstalling.
The body was rust free to begin with but taken down to bare
metal and painted professionally with 4 coats of paint to give a flawless, show
quality mirror like finish. Special attention has been paid towards the finer
details whereby each and every component, inside and outside of the car, has
been matched to the color change.
The wood frame inside the body was replaced with entire new
set purchased from Moss Motors. The one thing that stands to dry rot in the dry
climate of Arizona is the wood.
The interior is genuine leather and the seats and panels are
impeccably upholstered to the highest standard.
The dash is made
from a special Italian Carpathian Elm wood which is hand waxed and is
absolutely beautiful.
All the gauges
are original.
The chrome is mostly
original metal re chromed to perfection. Every chrome trim piece is perfect.
The MGTD has
barely 50 miles since the restoration was completed six months ago. It has been
kept in an air conditioned garage in Phoenix ever since.
Nearly 30, 000 TD's were
produced from 1950-1953. An example
tested by The Motor magazine in 1952 had a top speed of 77 mph (124 km/h) and
could accelerate from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 18.2 seconds. A fuel consumption of
26.7 miles per imperial gallon
was recorded.
