SUMMARY

Charming 1250 XPAG-engined TD Midget refreshed a few years ago and still presenting very well.

DESCRIPTION

  • The TD-Series Midget was the first MG sports car to feature independent double-wishbone front suspension, rack and pinion steering and twin leading-shoe front brakes
  • Powered by the proven 1,250cc XPAG engine with a 4-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg
  • Frist registered in 1952, this example was originally supplied, as most were, to the US in left-hand drive, returning in 2016
  • With just one previous UK owner, it's believed to have been previously restored prior to arriving in the UK
  • Finished in Old English White with, good chrome and a cream hood over a tan leather interior sitting on chrome wire wheels (presumably from a later TF as TDs were never available with splined hubs)
  • Classic T-Series interior with white-faced Jaeger instruments, Bakelite switches and a wood-rim wheel.
  • Various US enhancements with a badge-bar, extra mirrors and spare wheel 'cosy'
  • This is a lovely example of the early TD Midget, attractively guided and we believe is not to be missed
