1952 MG TD

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Blending British charm with American appeal, the 1952 MG TD was part of the iconic MG T-series that began with the TA in 1936 and ran through the 1955 TF. The TD model featured a robust XPAG 1250cc inline-four engine and independent front suspension — an upgrade over its predecessor. By 1952, MG had refined the TD’s design, offering improved handling and comfort, making it a favorite among postwar sports car enthusiasts.

This right-hand-drive 1952 MG TD is an older restoration refinished in Woodland Green (British Racing Green) paint with a beige soft top over beige leather bucket seats with matching vinyl door trim. It features a four-speed manual transmission, center‑hinged bonnet with a leather strap, folding windshield, wire wheels with Pirelli tires, a luggage rack, side curtains, a beige banjo style steering wheel, and Jaeger instrumentation.

Located in New York, this '52 MG TD is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean New Jersey title.
