MG T-Series (1952)
for sale
Price: US $1,000.00
Price: US $1,000.00
What
we have here is a 1952 MG TD in un-restored, running condition with spare frame.
I
bought this car in the year 2000 with the intentions of restoring it. I have
personally driven the car about 300 miles since I purchased it. It is running
and drivable at this time.
The
odometer shows 89, 000 miles, but I do not know if that is accurate. The wood
seems to be solid and the doors close nicely.
After
I bought this car, someone pointed out to me that there is a difference in the
distance from the fender to the radiator on the left and right side. The
distance on the right is about 1/2 inch and on the left it is about 1/8 inch. I
am not sure you can see this in the pictures, but I am not the kind of
person who would sell the car without mentioning it. When I found this out I put the car on a rack
and found that it had sustained some frame damage that I assume came from an
accident a long time ago. The car drives
straight and seems fine.
About
ten years ago, I bought another TD frame and had it sand blasted and painted
for when I eventually restored the car. I will throw that in with the car
purchase.
The car is titled in PA with the year 1956 but the VIN is for a 1952. I believe the title is a T-2 title-meaning that it was first titled in PA in 1956. I do not know where it was originally titled.
The
reason I am not restoring this car is that I also own 12 MGAs that I intend to
restore, and I figure I should streamline my restorations and stick to one
model at this point. If I cannot get my
reserve, I will restore the car and then sell it. Since retirement, I have restored 5 MGAs and
one TD, so I know what these cars are worth. I just thought I would try to sell
it before I put a lot of money into it.
The car must be paid for with cash, cashier’s check, or wire
transfer within seven days of the end of the auction. All moneys must clear my bank before the vehicle will be released. Shipping must be arranged and paid for by the
winning bidder. THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS, WITH NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. If you are unsure about bidding, please come inspect
the car in person or have it inspected by a reputable third-party inspection
service. Please bid only if you are serious and are able to complete the
purchase.
The
car is located in Pittsburgh, PA. Feel free to call George with
any questions 412-913-4230.
