…This 1953 MG TD is finished in red over tan leather and is powered by a 1,250L inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a tan canvas soft top, wood veneer dashboard, driving lights, chrome bumpers with overriders, 15″ steel wheels, a trunk-mounted spare, and a tan-colored front grille. The car was reportedly refurbished in 1986 and remained with its previous owner for 34 years before being acquired by the seller in October 2020.
The exterior is said to have been refinished in its current shade of red as part of the refurbishment performed by Central Texas Museum of Automotive History in Rozanky, Texas in 1986. Equipment includes a tan Robbins Stayfast canvas top, a fold-flat windshield, wind wings, driving lights, a fender-mounted driver’s mirror, tan grille inserts, a front badge bar, and chrome bumpers with overriders. Delamination can be seen on the windshield edge and close-up photos of the body, lenses, and trim can be viewed in the gallery. A pair of side curtains and a tonneau cover are included in the sale.
Steel 15″ wheels feature chrome MG hubcaps and wear 165-series Dunlop SP20A/S tires, and a full size spare is mounted out back. Independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel drum brakes were standard equipment.
The interior features tan leather seats with matching door panels and black carpets. Amenities include a wood-veneer dashboard, door pockets, MG-branded floor mats, and a parcel shelf behind the seats.
A banjo-style steering wheel frames Jaeger instrumentation that consists of a 100-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows just under 7k miles.
The 1,250L XPAG inline-four is fitted with twin SU carburetors and produced 54 horsepower and 64 lb-ft of torque when new. Equipment includes a polished intake and valve cover, cast iron exhaust manifold, and an oil bath air cleaner.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
