1953 MG TD Mark II Roadster
Beautifully, older restored MG-TD Mark II loaded with options! Great color combination, number’s matching, and ready for the fall shows! One of the nicest we have had the privilege of offering!
Debuting in 1950, the TC-series was replaced by a slightly larger TD-series. This new design offered both left-hand-drive appointments and an independent front suspension for the first time. They also included smaller, more tire-friendly 15” wheels and a wheel track that was 5 inches wider promising much better road handling! A Mark II Competition version was offered from the factory offering slightly larger SU H4 carburetion through a modified intake manifold, hood bulge to accommodate larger air cleaners, larger intake valves, twin electric fuel pumps, upgraded Andrex suspension dampers, higher axle ratio, and special Mark II exterior badging. This performance series was offered the entire model run through 1950-1953, and became the standard power plant for the TF by 1954. Approximately 1, 700 factory units left England over those 4 years making them exceptionally rare to find today!
