SUMMARY
A rare, UK-supplied from new, TD Midget that's been nicely restored.
DESCRIPTION
- The TD-Series Midget was the first MG sports car to feature independent double-wishbone front suspension and rack and pinion steering and the new model also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, a scuttle reinforcement hoop and twin leading-shoe front brakes
- Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine with a four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg
- Dating from early 1951, this Mk II is one of the very few cars that were UK-supplied from new
- The subject of an older full restoration complete with a replacement Ash frame
- Really well-presented in Gloss Black and converted to take TF chrome wire wheels
- Superb interior in Tan Leather with a matching Rexine-covered dashboard, Bakelite switches, and a Blumels 'Brooklands' four-spoke, sprung steering wheel with a rare, coloured Bakelite rim
- Excellent Beige hood and matching Tonneau cover
- Recent £2,000 expenditure including new brakes, a full service, underbody treated and new tyres
- Supplied with a small history file, which includes a copy of the original 'Buff Logbook', this smashing little TD is ready to step back into the 50s
