Description

A nice 1950s English sports car. The previous owner removed and painted the body before leaving the car standing owing to a lack of time. He had brought the car from the United States to Norway. The  current owner, purchased the car in Norway, completed the assembly, and then registered it in Sweden. The car was totally rebuilt. New interior, engine and brakes serviced, and much more. In early 2022, the car was registered in Sweden. It has been inspected and is ready to drive. The buyer has the option to further improve the car by mounting the convertible top on the included renovated cab frame  (see separate picture).

Facts about the model

MG, Morris Garages, är ett gammat fint brittiskt bilmärke som numera sedan 2012 är en del av kinesiska SAIC Motor.
MG T-Type Midget är en serie sportbilar som tillverkade av MG mellan 1936 och 1955.
MG TD-modellen kom 1950 och var på många sätt en helt ny bil, där man placerat kaross och motor från företrädaren i chassit från sedan-modellen MG Y-Typ. Det innebar att bilen nu fick individuell hjulupphängning fram och kuggstångsstyrning. Karossen hade breddats för att bli rymligare. Stötfångare blev standarutrustning, liksom tallriksfälgar. Ekerfälgar fick beställas extra. TD:n var också den första MG som byggdes med ratten på vänster sida. Produktionen uppgick till 29 664 exemplar mellan 1950 till 1953. Enligt uppgifter från transportstyrelsen finns färre än 180 stycken registrerade i Sverige. Undrbar klassiker som är kul att köra och lätt att underhålla. Nästan alla delar nyproduceras och mycket gammalt finns sparat och säljs från England.
