Introduction
Dom Ginn
The MG TD oozes traditional British motoring style and charm.
The MG T-Type is attributed to starting the post-war sports car boom and establishing MG as a worldwide brand. Its appeal lies in its simplicity, low running costs and excellent parts availability - virtues that still hold today. The 1936 design evolved over its 19-year production run, with the improved XPAG 1.3-litre engine arriving just before the war.
Compared to the original iteration of the T-Type, the TD offered a far superior ride, thanks to its redesigned chassis, independent coil suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. Striking a chord with the lucrative export market, over a third of the production found a home in the US during its three-year reign. Known for its sharp and lively driving experience, the TD2 version, now with an upgraded engine, combines pre-war styling with a comparatively modern driving set-up which will be familiar to current classic car owners. The only difference is that the TD2 is not overladen with frivolities or unneeded weight.
Coming to market after ~7.5 years ownership, this beautifully presented 1953 original RHD example was imported from the States in 2012, having spent its early life in Malaya. Before its return home, it underwent a thorough restoration. Beautifully painted in a very appealing "Clipper Blue" and furnished with tan leather seats with wood trim, it has also seen several mechanical upgrades including anti-roll bars, modern shocks and a 5-speed gearbox conversion. The current owner has cherished the car since buying it in 2016, diligently keeping on top of maintenance, new parts and ensuring it is serviced yearly.
This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Brian the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
