The 1953 MG TD is the kind of car true enthusiasts love, and in
fact, this one really proves it. It's coming off over nearly 60
years with only its second owner ever! He bought it on a military
base in Hawaii in 1966 and has kept it in loving care - including a
comprehensive restoration about 7k miles ago. And you can tell
there was added thought in the work. You see it in details like how
the tan body seals go with the tan folding roof and interior, and
the undercarriage is so clean that you can easily spot the real
wood in this true classic. There are even little extras like a
cockpit cover and a classic tool kit. Not only was this car
cherished, but it was properly driven. So there's a proper driver's
environment with the leather upholstery, Jaeger gauges, and an
upgraded MotoLita wood-rimmed sports steering wheel. Even the motor
shows the right level of care you want in a cherished driver's
machine. So take a closer look at a true driver's classic that has
been kept by an enthusiast just like you.

The MG TD hits a sweet spot for many of us. It was an improved
suspension setup over its predecessors, but it never lost the
old-school charm that made it so endearing. And charm is at the
heart of this car's true appeal. It has a nice style and an even
nicer story of long-term ownership. So you get to enjoy the drive
and it even has a tale to tell (after all, this British car crossed
both the Atlantic and Pacific to be found in Hawaii.) So if you're
ready to be the third owner in 70 years, this distinct and fun
roadster is ready for you. But a car like this never waits long,
call today!
