DESCRIPTION:
This NO RESERVE
auction is for a very nice looking 1951 MGTD in exterior green color with a black top and interior. These early Post-war MGs really stand out on the road and never fail to bring out some smiles and thumbs up from people when you are driving them around. They are a blast to drive and are still very capable of keeping up with traffic. The suicide doors are a feature that takes a little getting used to, but getting in and out of one of these is much easier than it looks and they will easily accommodate 6 footers even with the top up!
This stock example has been just recently been put back into service after being off the road for several years, as shown by the 2012 New York State motor vehicle inspection sticker. The owner got it running and started to sort it out, but it needs some attention to get it totally street worthy again. The broad paint scrapes and scratches on the front of the car are the result of an unfortunate storage tent collapse and the poles did the damage.
One of the nice things about these cars is the simplicity. Owning one of these won't put you in the poor house. There is very adequate parts availability and most of the maintenance doesn't require a degree in rocket science. This particular MGTD is extremely rust free and appears to have a high degree of originality. The gas cap needs to be repaired or replaced in order to stay closed tightly and carburetor air filtration needs to be installed.
The wooden dash is weather beaten and the top needs to be replaced, so the car is presently stored safely inside a building. The bright work is all in fairly good condition. We didn't want to bog you down with pages of MGTD history and information, considering that most of the enthusiasts looking at this listing will know much more about this car than we do.
This car is currently registered and can be driven, but only for short distances before it is sorted. We did take the car for a brief drive and it behaves fairly well. It runs smoothly hitting on all four cylinders, shifts properly and comes to a halt when brake pedal pressure is applied. This MG fires right up and there is no smoke, noises, leaks or other gremlins as it warms up nicely and settles right into a comfortable idle as you push the choke back in. At the time we shot the images most of the electronics were functioning correctly. This car is over 60 years old and does need some TLC, so please forgive us if we overlooked some other minor flaws.
As with all of our eBay Motors listings we try to let our high resolution photographs tell the story about the vehicles that we are selling. All of the pictures you see were just taken by us and we have shots from many angles including the exterior with top up and down, engine bay both sides, full interior, and undercarriage. This unique roadster is a great looking and performing driver. You can use this car for show, as an advertising platform, daily fun driver or just for cruise night enjoyment! If you study our images very carefully, you will see exactly what this great little MGTD is all about.
The clear multiple high resolution images of this car, shown below, will do a much better job of describing the look, style, condition and market value of this vehicle than our words ever could. We invite questions and comments and there is NO RESERVE on this auction!
