This TD has received a recent “bumper-to-bumper” restoration and is beautifully finished in MG Red with a tan interior. Its tan canvas top and windows are in great condition, and the odometer shows just over 38,500 miles. With a mechanical restoration in the summer of 2013, the MG is stated to be in no need of mechanical work and that the quality of work is to be a “10 on one to ten scale.”

Along with being a good driving car; courtesy of its 76.3-cid, 55-hp inline four-cylinder engine and three-speed manual transmission, this fine and attractive gem is equipped with driving lights, spare tire cover, dual fender-mounted mirrors, windwings and a full car cover is also included. The owner is selling only because of his loss of the cars storage facility and having several other vintage vehicles to ease the loss of the MG.

This is a very nicely presented example of the MG TD, the purpose-built and improved successor to the TC for the American export market. It is perhaps the most influential British sports car of the post-war era.
