1952 MG MGTD Stunning 1952 MG TD The painstaking frame-off restoration on this fantastic 1952 MGTD was performed with no expense spared. From the professionally rebuilt engine and drive train to its spectacular two tone Ivory cream/Autumn Red paintwork and elegant Biscuit interior, this classic British roadster is exceptional in every way. Further enhanced with Black Walnut dashboard, this example of the immensely popular TD series runs, drives and looks better than it did when new. Whether destined for an automobile museum, private collection or display at world-class events, this extremely collectible MG is a true automotive art form and a solid investment for the future. History, Awards and Shows This 1952 MG TD was in very poor condition when it arrived at Black Horse Garage in late 2007. After completing extensive research into all aspects of the vehicle's original factory specifications, interior appointments, mechanical equipment and exterior finishes, the car was completely disassembled prior to the start of an exacting in-depth "frame off" restoration commissioned by the owner and vintage automobile collector, Mr. Kjell Kjellberg. Upon completion of the restoration, the MG debuted at the highly competitive 2009 Munson William Proctor Art Institute Antique and Classic Car Show held in Utica New York. Although the car appeared on the show field in the presence of automobiles that included spectacular Packards, Cadillacs, Rolls Royces and Auburn boat tail speedsters among many others, the large group of highly experienced and respected collector car experts charged with judging responsibilities awarded the little MG TD "Best in Show" honors! Exhibited again at the 2009 Lime Rock Park Concours d' Elegance which took place as part of Lime Rock Park's Fall Vintage Festival on Labor Day weekend, the MG TD was displayed on the famous 1.53 mile road racing circuit in the company of more than 720 other collector automobiles. With the grueling competition prompting each group of expert judges to carefully re-examine the top candidates in each class for the purpose of assessing the fine points that would distinguish one pristine automobile over another, the MG TD was found to be without peer and garnered a "Best in Class" award.
