1951 MGTD - Same Owner Since 1961, Body Off Frame Restoration!

1951 MGTD
Same Owner Since 1961, Body Off Frame Restoration!

We are offering a 1951 MGTD that has been with the same owner since he was a junior in high school in 1961. VIN TD8396, engine # XPAG/TD LHX 8810. Miles 45272. It is rare to find a MGTD that has been in continuous single person ownership this long. The XPAG engine underwent a rebuild which included a brand new in crate crankshaft and camshaft. The car was stored and off road from 1962- 1967 while the owner traveled, completed college, and his stint in the Air Force. After that he obtained a Saab as his primary car and the MG was used very sparingly until 2000. It has been exceptionally well cared for and had the benefit of a body off frame, full restoration by an excellent craftsman. All body panels were straightened and carefully fit then painted top and bottom. Additional restoration work included replacing the wiring harness and full new interior that is well fitted along with new top, side curtains and steering wheel. A wood grained dash was fitted in place of the original leather covered one. Any and all wood issues were addressed at this time so the door hinges and latches are solid and well fit. The owner did not rechrome the windscreen, radiator grill or headlights as he thought it would retain some of its character. Easy to redo if one chooses. Since the restoration, the car has been garaged and shown sparingly at local events, and driven in Veterans Day parades. The car is so well done that it looks like a fresh restoration. Our shop has recently redone all brakes, tuned, and repaired oil leaks on engine. We have serviced this car for many years and prior had rebuilt front suspension and shocks. Gearbox was rebuilt years ago but few miles, and it and the clutch are working well. This vintage MG is a pleasure to drive, very solid car with good power and it tracks and stops well. Sale will include history synopsis, records, and books acquired over the years. The car even retains original jack and handles. If one is looking for a nice car T-Series car that is usable, and has above average paint body and interior, this is an excellent choice.
