Vehicle Description
Stk 2311 1952 MGTD
Detail description coming soon. ALL VEHICLES SOLD ' AS
IS'Occasionally we consign an MGB or a Triumph here at the
AutoBarn. They are rare and sell quickly. This 1952 MG-TD is
altogether a different class of English sports car. These MG-TD
roadsters were special cars for many Americans in the early
fifties. They were an affordable way to really enjoy the open road.
Detroit had nothing like it. This TD has had a full professional
restoration by the current owner and it is top-shelf. The body was
beautifully refinished (2012) in Bright Red and is in excellent
"nick". All chrome is exceptional. Its interior was completely
redone in black vinyl with fitted carpets and a beautifully
refinished wooden dash. The working gauges are Jaegar (speedo/tach)
and Lucas - again, the gauges work. There is a like-new black top
with side curtains for comfort. The rebuilt (2017) matching numbers
1250cc OHV 4-cylinder purrs sweetly and is backed by a factory
4-speed manual transmission. (Owner is also including a hand
crank.) Steering is rack/pinion with independent coil spring front
suspension and solid axle/leaf springs in the rear. Brakes are
hydraulic 4-wheel drum and US versions had 12V positive-ground
electrics. Starting in 1950, the MG-TD was equipped with steel
wheels and hubcaps. (Wire wheels look great, but can be maintenance
nightmare.) The wheels on this roadster mount Nexen 165x80x15
radials. This British icon just makes you smile - it is '50s
history. .ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
