The MG TD first appeared in 1949 and was a larger car than its predecessors. It used a narrowed and modified version of the Y-Type saloon's box-frame chassis with an all-new body that retained the classic pre-war MG sports car appearance but with a more interior room. It was powered by the XPAG four-cylinder engine, employed an independent front suspension, and used a rack-and-pinion steering system.
This particular example was acquired from a resident of Carmel, California in 2013 by the current owner and immediately given a body-off restoration. It was refinished in its original color of Clipper Blue and the interior received entirely new upholstery and a new wiring loom. The original motor was fully rebuilt and repainted in the correct shade of red. The restoration was performed from 2014 through 2016.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2020
