Few cars have enjoyed the popularity, or been as influential in the world of sports cars and amateur racing as the MG. MG started in 1936 with the TA, the first of the T-Series cars that later introduced Americans to affordable sports cars after World War II. From the beginning, MG production followed a formula consisting of a simple-as-possible lightweight chassis with the addition of a highly-tuned engine. The MG TD continued this successful formula and was exceedingly popular in the U.S.A.

Despite their somewhat frail look, the cars were strong, durable and reliable. Their success was surprising, as they looked dramatically different from what was being produced by American manufacturers at the time. Performance was less than stellar by comparison, but they were enjoyable to drive. With the standard 54-hp inline four-cylinder engine, the TD was capable of speeds around 70-mph.

This example has been fully restored and finished in yellow and green with green leather upholstery. The interior features a lovely wooden dash with Jaeger gauges, three-spoke wooden wheel, folding windscreen with wings, sunvisors and heater. The top fits nice and snugly. Lucas fog and driving lights are found up front along with a Motometer mascot, and a luggage rack and spare is mounted in back. A quality detailed engine bay displays the correct drivetrain with a four-speed transmission and auxiliary electric fan. MG TDs are great fun with the top down and are a must-have for any enthusiast.
