This gorgeous MG TD 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 interior is genuine leather and the seats and panels are impeccably upholstered to the highest standard.
All the gauges are original.
The chrome is mostly original metal re chromed to perfection. Every chrome trim piece is perfect.
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.

“A great looking 1953 MG TD roadster that has been completely restored with a beautiful red finish and red leather interior. Powered by its original matching #s 4 cylinder engine and 4 speed manual transmission. The body on the car is in great shape along with all the chrome. The engine starts right up and runs very well and the clutch and transmission operate with no issues. The car is an older restoration that has held up very well, previous owner said he spent nearly 40k on the restoration. The car is a very nice driver that is a blast to cruise around in. Many people are drawn to this car, mainly because they don't know what it is but they know it looks cool. Its just a fun car ready to be enjoyed..” |
