DESCRIPTION:
This NO RESERVE
auction is for a barn find 1953 MGTD. Obviously this poor little car has been somewhat neglected, but that said, it has a very solid undercarriage and body and we were even able to get it running without a great deal of effort. The interior looks like it was a home for breeding mountain lions, so that is where most of the restoration work will be required.
This vintage MG car will move under it's own power for trailer loading purposes, but it has no brakes. One of the nice things about these cars is their simplicity. Typically, 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 MGTD is extremely rust free, the body is pretty straight and it appears to have a high degree of originality with all numbers matching!
The silver paint job is poor driver quality with a few blemishes here and there, but it could look like a solid 10 footer with a little bit of detailing and some elbow grease. It has a nice quality tan fabric top that is in very good condition and is probably the newest replacement part on the car. The bright work is in fair 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.
The interior is shot, so it needs complete restoration including steering wheel, most of the instruments, dash etc. This car is currently registered and we have a clean transferable registration/title in hand. This car is over 60 years old so please forgive us if we overlooked something minor.
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, full interior, and undercarriage. What you see is what you will get, we just took the pictures! If you study our images very carefully, you will see exactly what this 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!
