MG TD '53

The 1953 MG TD combines the elegance of the pre-war T-series with improved handling and reliability. With its recognizable lines, wooden dashboard, and lively driving character, it remains one of the most beloved British roadsters of the early 1950s. This example was professionally restored in the past and is presented in well-maintained condition, ready for summer drives or classic rallies.
