Exterior – Body & Paint
This MG TD has been treated to a full body-off restoration, with every panel, trim piece, and exterior surface carefully refreshed. Finished in factory-correct green, the car gleams with a deep, period-authentic shine. Chrome trim, bumpers, and grille have been meticulously polished, while the new woodwork around the cowl and dashboard adds warmth and character. The body lines are crisp, the panel gaps even, and the attention to detail is immediately evident from any angle.
Wheels, Tires & Suspension
Period-correct steel wheels with chrome hubcaps carry tires that complement the car’s vintage aesthetic. The suspension has been rebuilt as part of the restoration, offering a smooth, confidence-inspiring ride while maintaining the TD’s classic handling characteristics.
Interior – Cabin & Comfort
Inside, the beige interior has been restored to factory specification, with upholstery, door panels, and carpeting all reflecting the original design. The new wood trim on the dashboard and gearshift console is finely finished, highlighting the craftsmanship throughout the cabin. The cockpit is compact and driver-focused, providing an authentic 1950s British motoring experience.
Engine & Drivetrain
The MG TD retains its original inline-4 engine, rebuilt and tuned during the restoration for reliable performance. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, it delivers responsive, engaging driving dynamics typical of the TD, making this car as enjoyable on scenic backroads as it is at car shows.
Provenance & Documentation
This TD has accumulated just 1,600 miles since its restoration, reflecting careful ownership and light use. Documentation of the restoration work is available, underscoring the high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail invested in the car.
Summary
The 1953 MG TD offered here is a beautifully restored example of British sports car heritage. With its factory-correct green paint, beige interior, new woodwork, and low mileage since restoration, it combines show-quality presentation with driving enjoyment. A meticulously cared-for classic, it is equally suited for driving, display, or inclusion in a distinguished collection.
