OVERVIEW
This 1953 MG TD is a frame-off restoration that has been with the seller for seven years. It is powered by a 1.3-liter inline-four engine backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a convertible top with side curtains, fog lights, and a folding windshield. Finished in cream and equipped with a tan top over a ruby red vinyl interior, this MG is available now and comes with a clear Kentucky title.
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
The exterior was refinished in cream during the frame-off restoration six years ago. Features include chrome bumpers with bumper guards, a chrome grille with a maroon insert, dual mirrors, a folding four-piece hood, a tan cloth folding convertible top with side curtains and plastic windows, and a color-matched, rear-mounted fuel tank. Photos of the restoration are available in the gallery to the right.
EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES
A set of silver 15-hole steel wheels with MG dog dish hub caps is wrapped in radial tires.
INTERIOR – FEATURES
The seat, door panels, trim, and dashboard face are upholstered in ruby red vinyl. Features include manual steering and brakes, a floor-mounted manual shifter, a telescoping steering wheel, and a banjo steering wheel.
INTERIOR – GAUGES
A 100-mph speedometer and a 6K-rpm tachometer with an integrated clock are located head of the driver. The odometer reads 483 miles, which the seller states is accurate.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Power is provided by a 1.3-liter inline-four engine and backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Underhood features include a body-color firewall, an Optima Redtop battery, dual horns, a polished aluminum valve cover and intake, and a black air cleaner. The seller states that an oil change was completed approximately two months ago.
UNDERCARRIAGE
This MG was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear drive axle. Braking is provided by manual drums. A single-outlet exhaust system exits at the rear.
The reserve has been taken off. Someone is going to be taking this beautiful car home today. Good Luck!

Good morning, folks! These are the 2 trophies that the car has won, and the new owner will receive as well. I have over $30,000 invested in this car, but the reserve is much lower than that. The car stays in a heated and cooled garage. Has never been rained on. I am not selling for the money. I am selling because I need the space in my garage for a new car I recently purchased. Let's end this with a bang...Good luck and happy bidding!
