"This MG TD is a joy to drive, attracting attention wherever it goes. It starts smoothly, with a well-running engine, easy gearshift, and reliable brakes and electrics. While it shares the common handbrake lever issue, a simple adjustment will fix it. It also needs a valve gasket replacement, which is an easy job. Plus, it's permanently exempt from inspections, so you can drive it home without any worries."

Description

This car is being offered on behalf of the owner's estate and has a unique history. Imported to Sweden from South Carolina, USA, in 2014, it comes with a detailed account from the US seller regarding its renovation and repaint. Significant work has been carried out, including a rebuilt cylinder head with new stellite valves, guides, and springs, along with an undercarriage treated to prevent rust, making it all black underneath. Various new components have been added, such as a water pump, pulley, lifters, valve guides, pushrods, fuel pump (including an electronic one), sending unit, tires, and brakes, extending from the master cylinder to the brake shoes. While some door hinges might need slight adjustment for perfection, the dash and other interior elements remain in good condition. The ignition system, from points to plugs, has been replaced, and new rubber components were installed all around the car during the painting process.

The Swedish owner, who is a member of the MG club in Sweden, has continued to maintain this vehicle meticulously. Receipts for service work from Anglo Car, totaling approximately 30,000, cover various items like brakes, bushings, and the fuel pump, all of which are documented in the provided pictures. This comprehensive history of care and maintenance is a testament to its smooth driving experience this car offers today.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    This MG is a solid and reliable drive with excellent road handling. I took it for a 20 km spin without any issues. Minor fixes needed include a valve cover gasket replacement, handbrake lever adjustment, and some carburetor tuning. It might stumble a bit during cold starts but runs smoothly once warmed up. The car comes with great wheels and tires, and the rear axle has been replaced, likely from an MGA, with the original one included (see pictures).

  • Interior condition

    The interior of this MG is impressively fresh and clean, featuring a well-preserved dashboard and original instrumentation. It includes the original steering wheel, adding to its authenticity. While the leather seats are intact, there's a minor issue with cracked leather and a small hole on the driver's side, and some wear on the door card. The mats are in good condition. Additionally, the car comes with a clip-on tonneau cover that's easy to fit, though it's missing a clip button. An appealing extra feature is the folding Brooklands screens, which enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of this classic beauty

  • Exterior condition

    This MG is in great shape, with no rust or dents in the bodywork and a clean underbody. The paintwork, while generally clean, has some cracking around the front and rear wings and a small touch-up on the passenger wing (see pictures). The chrome work is excellent, and there's an additional spotlights fitted. The roof is intact but has a minor issue on the driver's corner.

  • General condition

    This MG TD ranks among the best I've driven in recent memory. It requires only the mentioned fixes, and while the paintwork may benefit from a future repaint, it can certainly be enjoyed in its current condition. Moreover, it comes with extensive documentation, making it an appealing choice for any MG enthusiast.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
