For your consideration an exquisite professionally
restored 1952 MG TD. A California
car that has undergone a complete nut and bolt restoration. This beauty is
ready to enjoy. Purchased by the current owner as a father-son restoration project
, the car has been fully renovated from top to bottom. The current owner has reluctantly decided to part ways
with this very complete TD because he lives in an area where he cannot keep the
car. Along with the professionally re-built engine it has had the very sensible
5 speed transmission upgrade, giving synchro first and the capability of
freeway driving.
The interior is a light tan that perfectly suits the
beautiful red exterior. The exterior is in excellent condition. The high end
paint job includes a coating that is no longer available in California due to EPA rules. The leather
seats and trim are without wear. All interior/exterior electrical is in
working condition as the car has had all new wiring throughout. The speedo, tachometer, amp, and temperature gauges all work. The ignition light and push
horn are functioning as well. The indicators have a self cancelling vacuum
switch and are in working order. The windshield is in great condition, very
clear with no cracks. The wiper does not work, however this car won't soon be driven through a torrential downpour seeing as it is lacks in
the side curtains department. The wheels are in good shape and the tires are
like new. The TD also has a spare tire mounted to the rear which has a very
smart wheel cover. The doors' fit and gap is perfection and there is no paint
chipping anywhere. Under the bonnet (that latches and fastens very well) it is
immaculate. Yes, there are a few minor oil leaks, it's an MG.
In addition to a beautiful exterior and interior, a tasteful
and very sensible restoration has made this sports car a joy to drive. Starting
easily from cold on the choke, the engine runs smooth with good oil pressure
and has a nice idle. Pulling away the clutch is smooth and the gearbox is
exceptional in all gears with no noise or synchro issues. The suspension is in superb
condition and the ride is not bumpy in the slightest. There is no unwanted
vibration through the steering and the drive is very smooth. The brakes
are firm and the car pulls up straight upon braking.
You can bid with confidence knowing that this MG TD has been
fully restored by professionals that took the time to do things right, and
maintain the integrity of the car. No bolt has been left unturned and no
corners have been cut in this refurbishment, making this TD extremely drivable
and overall a mechanically sound sports car. Although produced in 1952, the
modifications to the gearbox really do make such a difference in the way this
car drives and allows the ride to be much more enjoyable in today's hustle and
bustle of traffic.
This car is an outstanding example of a restored MG TD that
is fully sorted and a joy to drive.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. As always
I would recommend driving and viewing the car if at all possible. Please call
(310) 833 1525 for an appointment. Bid to buy with confidence, this car will
not disappoint. I have sold many British sports cars and other classics
on e-bay with 100% good feedback.
