Vehicle Description
Nicely presented and finely tuned, this 1951 MG TD is an
exceptional example of great handcraftsmanship that was built to
enjoy your favorite road.
An MG TD represents the old-world style of craftsmanship. There was
a lot of Detroit iron being produced in the 1950s, but this
roadster's body is proudly supported by ash wood. And because this
MG is already a standout, it doesn't need a boisterous color,
that's why we love the sophisticated ivory cream. It's particularly
nice because this MG has the look of a lifetime of respect. So you
have a deep gloss in the paint and it loves to show off the long
flowing fenders and well-fitting panels. Even on a car this small,
they left room for a touch of flair. It's in the mirror-like shine
of the bumpers, grille surround, headlights, windshield frame, and
wheel covers (including the rear-mounted spare.) These cool little
roadsters are best for sunny day outings, but if the weather does
turn wet, this one has you covered. Not only do you get the tan
convertible top, but this also comes with the full side curtain
package to help keep you dry all the way home.
The black interior looks tasteful against the cream exterior. In
fact, with the dark grille slats, rubber running board grips, and
convertible tonneau cover, the cream/black combo seems to flow
nicely inside and out. Plus, the condition of the seats, dash,
carpeting, and door panels tell you there have been good
investments along the way to keep this one looking sharp. The
interior is a reminder that these MGs are a great lesson in purist
motoring. A grippy three-spoke steering wheel, classic Jaeger
gauges, and a manual transmission - that's all you get because
that's all you need. Pull the start button, and then the wind whips
through the interior while you help fill it with the wonderful
soundtrack from the motor.
The engine is the correct 1250 cc inline-four unit, and it has the
crisp and clean appearance of a solid all-around investment. So not
only does it look good, but also since the twin SU carburetors were
recently rebuilt, it runs strong, too. It's a sprightly machine
with a light weight body, modern Nexen tires, and independent front
suspension all making it feel nimble. The drivetrain 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. The result
is a car where you feel an instant connection in everything you do,
and that kind of purist motoring is absolutely addictive.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and maintenance
records. This is true vintage and pure motoring fun all offered for
an obtainable price. Call today!!!
