1951 MG TD

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to offer this 1951 MG TD. The TD Midget was introduced in January 1950, and it combined MG's TC drivetrain and the MG Y-type chassis to produce the new 1951 TD model. It has the classy red/black combo, iconic curves, nice extras, and manual transmission to take control on the backroads. All of this makes for an attractive roadster at an irresistible price. This TD is powered by the 1,250 CC 4-cylinder engine that still retains the original brass MG number tag and is teamed with a 4-speed manual transmission. The cabin features a split bench covered in pleated black upholstery, joined by a color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. Appointments include a glove compartment, a dash-mounted rearview mirror and map pockets. The personal four-spoke steering wheel fronts Jaeger instrumentation that consists of a 100-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock, as well as auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows just under 90k miles, although true mileage is unknown. One drive and you'll see why it's so easy to love an MG and why the market for these cars is on the way up.
