Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to offer this
1951 MG TD. The TD Midget was introduced in January 1950, and it
combined MG's TC drivetrain and the MG Y-type chassis to produce
the new 1951 TD model. It has the classy red/black combo, iconic
curves, nice extras, and manual transmission to take control on the
backroads. All of this makes for an attractive roadster at an
irresistible price. This TD is powered by the 1,250 CC 4-cylinder
engine that still retains the original brass MG number tag and is
teamed with a 4-speed manual transmission. The cabin features a
split bench covered in pleated black upholstery, joined by a
color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. Appointments include a
glove compartment, a dash-mounted rearview mirror and map pockets.
The personal four-spoke steering wheel fronts Jaeger
instrumentation that consists of a 100-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm
tachometer with an inset clock, as well as auxiliary gauges for oil
pressure, water temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer
shows just under 90k miles, although true mileage is unknown. One
drive and you'll see why it's so easy to love an MG and why the
market for these cars is on the way up.
