"This car brings both joy to the eyes and exhilaration behind the wheel. It has been beautifully restored and well cared for since it arrived in Sweden in 2011."

Description

Originally sold in the USA in 1953, this car arrived in Sweden in 2011. It underwent restoration here between 2011 and 2014. We had the privilege of selling the car to a new owner in 2019. His wife took over the car a year ago and is now selling it to a new enthusiast. The car is in exceptionally fine and charming condition, as well as fully functional. It is ready to be driven for summer outings. Included with the car are a tonneau cover, side windows, and an instruction manual.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts easily, runs smoothly and handles well on the road. Has not been driven much in recent years, so a thorough inspection and servicing may be required.

  • Interior condition:

    Partially restored, with new carpets, reupholstered door panels, and some seat parts. Everything is in neat and fine condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    Nice and shiny paint that has held up well after renovation. The tires are newer with a lower profile but provide better road grip. Otherwise, nice condition on glass and chrome as well as a nice engine compartment. There is a newer convertible top and the side windows are also in great shape.

  • General condition:

    The MG T-series is, to a large extent, the epitome of a classic British sports car from the years before and after World War II. Notably, many American soldiers developed an interest in these simple and practical sports cars, leading to a significant demand for them "over there" and providing much-needed export revenue for Britain. Today, an MG TD is a sought-after collector's and classic car. Here it is in excellent condition, featuring a delightful color combination—a true source of joy.

Facts about the model

MG Morris Garages was founded by W.R. Morris. Initially, he sold bicycles and later ventured into the automobile industry. From 1913, he began manufacturing cars under his own name, Morris Motor Company. Simultaneously, he maintained Morris Garages as a separate entity and, starting in 1924, sold Morris cars with enhanced engines and special bodies under the MG brand.

During the 1930s, several sports versions were produced, including the MG Midget T-type. These T-type cars, namely the TA, TB, TC, TD, and TF models, were manufactured between 1936 and 1955, with some interruptions during World War II. In 1935, W.R. Morris had already sold MG to the Nuffield conglomerate. In 1968, MG became part of British Leyland, and by 1980, its production came to an end. However, the brand continued under Rover and later BMW, but by 2005, it had ceased once again. Now, the name MG has been revived by the Nanjing Automobile Group. However, that's a completely different story.
