Vehicle Description
Zoom Classic Cars is proud to present for sale this completely
restored 1953 MG TD. The 1953 MG TD is a classic British sports car
that exudes timeless charm and appeal. Renowned for its elegant
design, spirited performance, and open-air motoring experience,
this iconic roadster continues to captivate enthusiasts with its
nostalgic allure. The current owner purchased the vehicle in 2020
from New England Classics who had just completed the restoration.
Since the restoration less than 375 miles have been put on the car.
The restoration included a freshly rebuilt MGB engine that doubled
the original horsepower, a new alternator, rebuilt SU carbs with
air cleaners, rebuilt 4 speed transmission with new clutch, new 15"
wire wheels and tires. The vehicle also received new oil cooler and
oil lines, an electric radiator fan, twin fuel pumps (one for
emergency on a switch under the dash), electronic ignition (no
points or condenser), new reduction gear racing starter, and a new
dual master cylinder (and new clutch master and slave cylinder).
The vehicle received powder coated headers, MGA front disc brakes,
MGA back axle with 3.9 GB diff (much stronger than original TD back
axle), and a new custom driveshaft. The vehicle features an
excellent chassis and wood floors, excellent chrome, rear luggage
rack, a folding windshield with twin racing screens, all new wiring
and electrical. The exterior features the deep British Racing
Green, new tonneau matching the interior, side view mirrors mounted
on the fenders, and fog lights. Car has a new battery added this
fall. Also has a turn signal added to the steering column (works
great front and back). Modern features of the interior include a
modern stereo/CD player hidden under dash, a 12v outlet with USB
outputs, an onboard trickle charger, and seat belts. The current
owner has put less than 375 miles on the vehicle, which means you
have an incredible opportunity to own a wonderfully built seventy
year old vehicle with many creature comforts and safety features of
2023. The exterior, interior, dash, gauges, are all stock and,
thus, ready for a show. However, it is equipped with a few
surprises including double the horsepower, improved drive train,
improved ignition, cooling and other features mentioned. During
restoration the car was engineered such that IF needed, the
transmission can be removed without removing the engine unlike any
MG. The vehicle starts right up, runs and drives as it should,
whether a neighborhood street, or the highway. In essence, the 1953
MG TD embodies the quintessential British sports car experience.
Its blend of classic design, spirited performance, and open-air
enjoyment makes it a beloved and cherished classic, evoking a sense
of nostalgia and adventure with every drive. The vehicle is located
in Fishers, Indiana, and the asking price is $38,500. Call Tom at
