1951 MG TD “RESTORED WITH MODERN UPGRADES GORGEOUS WELL SORTED THE BEST!!!”

VIN 939676312

The Classic Car Gallery is proud to offer this gorgeous 1951 MG TD. The car was the recipient of a body off restoration at a cost of more than $60K and remains in wonderful mechanical and cosmetic condition. She is the ultimate road going MG TD. The car was assembled using a later 1800cc MGB powertrain she runs and drives like a much newer more reliable car while maintaining her stock appearance. The car is finished in English Cream (a very pale yellow) a new dark green leather interior and powder coated dark green wheels. All the chrome was rechromed or bought new. She is currently fitted with both her original style windshield and Brooklands windscreens allowing her to keep her original wiper system and use the soft top. The beige top is in excellent condition as are the bows and top mechanism. Performance comes from her performance prepared 1798cc MGB engine with its high lift cam high compression head and a Webber racing carburetor. As you would expect from ~110 horsepower (the original was 54!) the car offers excellent performance. A high capacity custom made radiator handles the additional cooling demands of the engine. The electrical system was upgraded to 12 volt with a Bosch alternator and electronic ignition. Likewise handling is true to its racing heritage. It has front wheel disc brakes from an MGB and rear tube shocks (much better then the primitive original set up) and rack and pinion steering. All modifications were done using MGA parts and components so everything looks correct. This car is very capable of sustained 70-75 mph driving. She starts easily and offers a wonderful driving experience. At 60 she is perfectly in its power band (about 3500 RPM) and third gear is a delight: the car pulls easily from a stop all the way up her 85+ MPH top speed. It's easy to see why this gearing was chosen this car is very reliable and well sorted. She has proven very reliable as the previous owner took long trips in it with no issues whatsoever. She has 3000 miles on the restoration. Enjoy the classic feel of a british roadster with updated performance required for our modern roads!!!
