About the MG TD: The MG TD was introduced in 1950 as the successor to the TC and represented a leap forward for MG. It combined the classic British sports car styling that enthusiasts loved with modern refinements like independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and a stiffer chassis. Powered by a spirited 1250cc inline-four engine, the TD offered nimble handling and lively performance, making it one of the most popular sports cars of its era particularly in the U.S., where it helped ignite the postwar sports car boom.

Highlights of this Example:

Finished in timeless red, the perfect shade for a classic MG

Pristine presentation immaculate inside and out

1250cc inline-four engine mechanically sound and a joy to drive

Wears charming vintage grille badges, adding period-correct character

Cruises with style and confidence a car that looks as good as it feels

An ideal addition to any collection, whether for display, shows, or spirited Sunday drives

The MG TD is an icon the car that taught America to love sports cars and this 1953 example represents the very best of that legacy. With its stunning presentation, originality, and strong mechanicals, it is both a showpiece and a driver, embodying everything that makes classic British motoring so desirable.

This is the one to add to your collection a jewel of 1950s motoring history that will turn heads wherever it goes.
