1950 MG TD Midget

Description

Estimated Price: £12,000 - £15,000

Introduced in 1949, the TD represented a significant evolution of MG's T-Series, combining traditional styling with independent double-wishbone front suspension, rack and pinion steering and twin leading-shoe front brakes
Powered by MG's proven 1,250cc XPAG four-cylinder engine, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox
A rare, UK-supplied, right-hand drive example leaving MG's Abingdon factory in 1950, this attractive TD has been in current ownership since 2020 and used principally as a show car
Finished in Reno Red over a Tan interior with a Beige hood, a classic factory combination
Classic T-Series interior with a Rexine dashboard, white-faced Jaeger instruments, Bakelite switches and a sprung wheel
Subject to a body-off restoration in 2000, supported by invoices and a photographic record of the work
Just 4,500 miles have been covered since the restoration and we understand that the car has always been dry stored during that time
Accompanied by its restoration invoices and photographs, together with a workshop manual, motoring manuals and a selection of tools
With its traditional looks, straightforward XPAG mechanicals and delightful open-top character, the TD remains one of the most accessible ways into post-war MG ownership and this nicely presented example appears ready to be enjoyed
