The MG TD Convertible, introduced in 1950, marked an important step in the evolution of MG's sports cars. This model, produced until 1953, was a continuation of the popular MG TC and played a crucial role in the renewed enthusiasm for open sports cars after World War II. The TD was equipped with a 1.25-liter four-cylinder engine, which gave the car lively performance and allowed a maximum speed of about 140 mph. The TD's design, with its classic lines and low profile, was characterized by a windshield placed further forward than its predecessors, which contributed to improved aerodynamics and driving experience.
With its independent front suspension system and a rear axle with leaf springs, the MG TD offered a combination of comfort and sportiness. It was available in a variety of colors and finishes, giving owners the opportunity to add a personal touch to their vehicle. The popularity of the MG TD resulted in a strong following among car enthusiasts, contributing to MG's status as an iconic brand in the sports car sector. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend you come to the viewing day.
