Vehicle Description
1952 MG TD Convertible. Improvements including a stiffer frame,
rack and pinion steering and updated suspension. The front
suspension gained a modern independent arrangement with double
wishbones and coil springs, rather than the old-fashioned straight
axle with leaf springs, while the redesigned rear suspension gained
increased travel. All this provided much improved handling and ride
characteristics. The carryover engine was a mere 1250cc in
displacement and produced around 54 horsepower, but coupled to the
four-speed manual. Head-turning 1952 MG TD is a two-stage
restoration. A frame-off restoration (minus the powertrain) took
place in 1995, followed by an engine overhaul, a new clutch, a new
driveshaft and other mechanical and cosmetic components as needed
in 2009. The frame and floors are in excellent condition and the
body presents beautifully in its classic British Racing Green
color. The top and full side curtains are in fantastic shape as
well. The interior is largely original, with the real leather seats
still in beautiful condition. Jack and owner's manual accompany the
car. With its upright chrome grille, separate bullet headlights,
elegantly sweeping fenders, cut-down doors and 'Banjo' steering
wheel, this 1952 MG TD looks like it rolled out of the automotive
golden age of the 1930s. Yet with the updates the TD received over
the TC, it drives more like a modern car than its classic looks
might suggest. Well sorted and ready to enjoy, this MG TD drives
great and, with the easy-folding top down and side curtains out, is
ready to go! Please Note The Following **Vehicle Location is at our
