In 1950, MG announced the production of the TD. Built on the Y-Type saloon chassis, it featured the prior TC series drivetrain with a modified hypoid rear axle, rack-and-pinion steering, and the availability of left-hand drive to further entice American buyers. The enhancements worked, with the large majority of MG TDs exported to North America. TD production ceased in 1953, when MG debuted its replacement, the TF. Arguably one of the more successful runs of MG vehicles, the T series was produced from 1936 to 1955.

This beautiful 1952 MG TD is presented in a brilliant shade of red with a tan interior and convertible top. Exterior features include wind wings, rear luggage rack, as well as Lucas fog lights and power windshield wipers. The car is powered by a four-cylinder engine with twin SU carburetors, which is mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The interior is completed in tan and features Jaeger instrumentation, banjo-style steering wheel, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror. The MG rides on Nankang Low Noise radial tires which are mounted on painted steel wheels with factory wheel covers. This car won its AACA Senior award in 1987 and remains in very nice condition.

A retro-inspired car in its day, the TD has always met a niche in the classic car market. It is the quintessential British sports car, with the styling of the open race cars of the 1930s and 1940s, while having the conveniences of a more modern automobile. Easy to work on and with parts readily available, the MG TD is an excellent entry-level collector vehicle.
