Now available in our DFW-Showroom is this splendid 1950 MG TD. MG's
TC roadster sold well initially and proved American demand for an
English sports car, but the car's right-hand-drive configuration
and 1930s specifications meant it was ripe for a redesign by 1950.
In response, Syd Enever and Alec Hounslow took two weeks in 1949 to
strip a four-seat Y-Type Tourer and shorten the chassis five
inches. Just like that, the MG TD roadster was born. The TD also
carried a few modifications aimed at the U.S. market. Specifically,
left-hand drive was offered, along with rack-and-pinion steering,
smaller, 15-inch steel disc wheels (no wire wheels were offered),
and larger bumpers. In turn, the car was wider and 200 pounds
heavier than the TC. Keeping with its predecessor, the TD's weather
protection was minimal. This MG TD was fully restored in 2009 by
K&C Seippel, (marked by the brass plaque on the firewall).
After that, the fuel tank was cleaned and sealed around 2012. It
also received a new coil and master cylinder in 2012. This vehicle
has won multiple awards at different car-shows over the years and
even have the plaques in the glove-box to prove it. This unique
ride certainly stands out in a crowd and is a great conversation
starter, don't let this opportunity pass you by. To view this
