MG TD

The MG TD replaced the TC in 1949, bringing sharper handling and a smoother ride to the T-series formula. It uses the 1,250cc twin-carb XPAG four with a four-speed manual gearbox, good for 54bhp and around 80mph. Only 1,656 of the roughly 30,000 built stayed in the UK, as most went to the US, so a right-hand-drive home-market car is the scarcer find.

This one was first registered in May 1952 and has had eight owners in its 73 years. A father and son restored it together over a number of years, rebuilding it from the ground up. The page says virtually every part was restored or renewed, including the underside. There is a rumour that the son, who worked for McLaren, had the car painted there, though that is unconfirmed.

The dealer supplied it inspected and serviced, with a 12-month warranty. The listing is now marked sold, and it gives no price, mileage or registration.
