Finished in the ever-desirable Old English White, this beautifully presented 1953 MG TD is complemented by a rich wine red interior, creating a classic and striking colour combination true to the period.
This example is in immaculate condition throughout, both inside and out. The bodywork is entirely original, retaining a wonderful sense of authenticity, while presenting to an exceptional standard. The interior is equally impressive, with the deep red trim offering a superb contrast to the exterior and showing minimal signs of wear.
Mechanically, the car has benefited from extensive recent work, ensuring it performs as well as it presents. The engine has been fully rebuilt, accompanied by a comprehensive programme of upgrades and maintenance including rebuilt carburettors, a new timing chain, radiator, water pump, and the addition of an electric fan system for improved usability in modern conditions. Further enhancements include electronic ignition and a new dynamo, supporting reliability and ease of ownership.
The braking system has undergone a full overhaul, and the car is fitted with a desirable Brown & Gammons 5-speed gearbox, greatly enhancing drivability and making it well-suited to longer journeys.
Externally, the car benefits from a new tonneau cover, along with a new hood frame and canopy. It is also supplied with a full weather kit, including side screens (doors) and windows, making the car versatile and practical for touring in a variety of conditions. Additional improvements include a new folding windscreen and wiper motor.
With just three owners from new—one notably an American intelligence officer—this MG TD carries both charm and provenance, adding to its already considerable appeal.
A superbly sorted and highly usable example, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional MG TD in outstanding condition, ready to be enjoyed immediately.
