For Sale: 1981 MG TD in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

Here's one of the most interesting propositions you're going to see in a while: an MG TD replica. Why do you want a replica of this classic roadster? Because now you get to save thousands $$$ while also getting easy to service VW running gear.


The MG grille, long flowing fenders, low-cut doors, and rear-mounted spare tire all make this a car that few people will give a second thought to its seemingly British heritage. But the great part is you really know that this is all corrosion-free fiberglass. Red is always a nice color. Still, those who want a high-gloss finish may want to use the money saved on the value price to invest in an upgrade. Regardless, it has nice details, like how the white body gaskets coordinate with the interior, spare tire cover, and convertible boot. And the wire wheel covers are correctly detailed, right down to the MG emblems.


The interior goes for a very authentic feeling that starts with the correct seat configuration - individual lower pads and a shared seatback. There's a nice hint of wood on the dash and the three-spoke sports steering wheel. And the FiberFab center cap is a nice hint at this replica's origins. Ahead of that is a large VDO speedo and tach. The passenger gets control of the AM/FM/CD stereo with USB and Bluetooth. So you can choose to play the most modern tunes you want while out on the open road. There's even good storage behind the seats so you can genuinely take this one on a weekend getaway.


The reason why we are so insistent about spending some time with this roadster out on the road is because of the motor. It's powered by one of the most trustworthy powerplants out there, the 1500 cc flat-four borrowed from a Volkswagen Beetle. It fires to life with ease and settles into a smooth idle that produces the recognizable air-cooled tone. The four-speed manual transmission gives you good control of the motor. The VW suspension handles nicely. Plus, behind the wire wheel covers are much larger tires than you'd get on an MG, so the feeling on the road is superior.


The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, service manuals, maintenance records, and even a cockpit cover. It looks like the iconic classic British roadster, and it's powered by a hardy German motor. If you love to drive your vintage machines, this is truly the best bang for your buck. Call today!!!
