Vehicle Description
No other car gets you in-touch with the vintage motoring experience
quite like a vintage MG. This 1953 MG TD has a strong and smooth
running nature that makes you feel ready to take the long way home
today.
An MG TD has that ideal kind of feeling that immediately reminds
you of the era of coach-built cars. Even as you look at the
undercarriage photos, you see the ash wood panels that support this
craftsman's car. While you'll love looking under the car, you'll
also get that same source of pride just looking straight at it. The
long flowing fenders and low cut doors are pure traditional
motoring. And this has all the right touches that make it ready for
the open road, including a full-size spare mounted on the back, a
luggage rack, and British motoring badges and fog lights ahead of
the iconic MG waterfall grille. These were built to be open to the
world, but in case you do need some cover from the weather, the
tasteful tan folding roof makes a nice companion to the red
paint.
Inside is more of that pure motoring spirit with a craftsman's
touch. The seat has a classic look and a great vintage leather
feel. It even has the nice little extras, like the MG grab handles
and a tool kit behind the seat. Press the start button, and then
the wind whips through the interior while you help fill it with the
wonderful soundtrack from the motor. You'll love the classic
premium feeling as you grab the banjo-style steering wheel and
watch the Jaeger tach dance with every shift of the gears.
The engine is a 1250 cc inline-four, and it helps the car really
shine. It's an overhead valve unit with twin SU carburetors. There
was a more recent investment in newer items, including the plug
wires, cap, and hoses. And the way this tidy engine fires up
readily reaffirms its quality care. The motor was built for you to
go out and row through the gears of the four-speed transmission and
get the most out of this little motor. Just like the legs on a
little dog, the MG's engine has a peppy attitude that's happiest
when it's kicking just about as fast as it can. The light body
weight and independent front suspension all contribute to this
sporting attitude. But to get the most fun out of this roadster, it
requires you. That's what makes these MGs so popular: you are
connected with the machine.
Complete with owner's manual, it's tough to deny yourself this
classic fun when it's this affordable. So if you're looking for a
driver's classic, don't miss this MG. Call today!!!
