Description of 1953 MG TD |
1953 MG TD In 1949 a small group of MG leaders, headed by John Thornley, got together to try to create a car that was acceptable to the North American marketplace while at the same time would limit the investment of the Nuffield Organization. Clearly it would be impossible to completely create a new car, not only from a financial point but from a timing standpoint as well. What was needed was a little of the old, sprinkled with a little of the new. Another key factor was to borrow or incorporate features found in other Nuffield cars of the time that were more up to date than the MGTC. It is always nice for this writer/photographer to get some British metal to our location. Sure, I have the best job, getting to take pictures, and describe these beautiful works of automotive art as they arrive here in the halls of Classic Auto Mall. My drive of this was very satisfying, as I remember clearly pulling up from my commute and the sun blinding me, backlighting this, one of my favorite British cars, the TD. Here was my experience. Exterior Interior Drivetrain Undercarriage For months we could not contact the consigner, so this car sat in what we call our "hall of shame" but it could be call the "isle of misfit cars", with any number of issues we need to resolve prior to putting them out there. This one just did not seem to have an owner. Visions of sugarplums danced in my head (well actually it was the TD), when I would secretly think maybe the owner will never contact us!! Meanwhile I've given it 3 more "tools", so I'll leave the light on for the next potential owner. And you may ask why don't I just purchase it? Well as the saying goes, why buy the cow, when I can get an occasional drink of milk for free?! Classic Auto Mall is a 336,000-square foot classic and special interest automobile showroom, featuring over 300 vehicles for sale with showroom space for up to 1,000 vehicles. Also, a 400 vehicle barn find collection is on display. |
