The 1953 MG TD is the kind of car true enthusiasts love, and in fact, this one really proves it. It's coming off over nearly 60 years with only its second owner ever! He bought it on a military base in Hawaii in 1966 and has kept it in loving care - including a comprehensive restoration about 7k miles ago. And you can tell there was added thought in the work. You see it in details like how the tan body seals go with the tan folding roof and interior, and the undercarriage is so clean that you .....
can easily spot the real wood in this true classic. There are even little extras like a cockpit cover and a classic tool kit. Not only was this car cherished, but it was properly driven. So there's a proper driver's environment with the leather upholstery, Jaeger gauges, and an upgraded MotoLita wood-rimmed sports steering wheel. Even the motor shows the right level of care you want in a cherished driver's machine. So take a closer look at a true driver's classic that has been kept by an enthusiast just like you.

The MG TD hits a sweet spot for many of us. It was an improved suspension setup over its predecessors, but it never lost the old-school charm that made it so endearing. And charm is at the heart of this car's true appeal. It has a nice style and an even nicer story of long-term ownership. So you get to enjoy the drive and it even has a tale to tell (after all, this British car crossed both the Atlantic and Pacific to be found in Hawaii.) So if you're ready to be the third owner in 70 years, this distinct and fun roadster is ready for you. But a car like this never waits long, call today!
