1953 MG TD

Description

No other car gets you in-touch with the vintage motoring experience quite like a vintage MG. This 1953 MG TD has a strong and smooth running nature that makes you feel ready to take the long way home today.

An MG TD has that ideal kind of feeling that immediately reminds you of the era of coach-built cars. Even as you look at the undercarriage photos, you see the ash wood panels that support this craftsman's car. While you'll love looking under the car, you'll also get that same source of pride just looking straight at it. The long flowing fenders and low cut doors are pure traditional motoring. And this has all the right touches that make it ready for the open road, including a full-size spare mounted on the back, a luggage rack, and British motoring badges and fog lights ahead of the iconic MG waterfall grille. These were built to be open to the world, but in case you do need some cover from the weather, the tasteful tan folding roof makes a nice companion to the red paint.

Inside is more of that pure motoring spirit with a craftsman's touch. The seat has a classic look and a great vintage leather feel. It even has the nice little extras, like the MG grab handles and a tool kit behind the seat. Press the start button, and then the wind whips through the interior while you help fill it with the wonderful soundtrack from the motor. You'll love the classic premium feeling as you grab the banjo-style steering wheel and watch the Jaeger tach dance with every shift of the gears.

The engine is a 1250 cc inline-four, and it helps the car really shine. It's an overhead valve unit with twin SU carburetors. There was a more recent investment in newer items, including the plug wires, cap, and hoses. And the way this tidy engine fires up readily reaffirms its quality care. The motor was built for you to go out and row through the gears of the four-speed transmission and get the most out of this little motor. Just like the legs on a little dog, the MG's engine has a peppy attitude that's happiest when it's kicking just about as fast as it can. The light body weight and independent front suspension all contribute to this sporting attitude. But to get the most fun out of this roadster, it requires you. That's what makes these MGs so popular: you are connected with the machine.

Complete with owner's manual, it's tough to deny yourself this classic fun when it's this affordable. So if you're looking for a driver's classic, don't miss this MG. Call today!!!
