In the Fifties, American cars were getting bigger, more brutish and powerful. V8s were the norm, as were flared fenders, massive overhangs and bulbous designs. Meanwhile, across the pond in Great Britain, things were very different. The motorcar was of a more compact stance, with small, frugal engines and lower levels of sheer size and bulk. The MG T-Type series of open-topped two-seater sports cars was a great case in point. Actually, the series was called the Midget and produced between 1936 and 1955. Today’s 1953 MG TD comes from the tail end of the series, then. With a mere 26,663 miles, this Kentucky-based curio is definitely worthy of consideration if you want something that’s totally different from the rest.
When the TD debuted in 1950, the preceding TC had already been exported to the United States, albeit in right-hand drive form. The TD changed this, as it was available with left-hand drive. Not only that, it gained a little bit of size, particularly width, to make it more appealing to American drivers and tastes. This particular car wears a glamorous red paint job and complements it with a tan canvas drop-top for weather protection. With its steel wheels, chrome hubcaps and chrome external luggage rack, it’s the quintessential British grand tourer! The interior of this 1953 MG TD is also in tan, and can easily accept two adults, sitting on its low-backed semi-bench seat with individual lap belts for each occupant. The car’s black dashboard hosts a bevy of blue-faced analog dials, while there’s a USB charger retrofitted to help keep your smart devices juiced up when on the go. After all, it’s way too easy to get lost in the beauty of driving this car, and end up behind the wheel for hours on end!
The little 1.2-liter 4-cylinder mill that powers this 1953 MG TD is a surprisingly tenacious thing. Don’t ask us about horsepower as it’s definitely in the double, rather than triple figures. That being said, the 4-speed manual transmission means that you can extract some pretty good progress. Plus, the car’s rear-wheel drive layout aids its handling and agility.

MG or Morris Garages is still around to this date. They started off as a maker of British family and sports cars, and this 1957 MG Magnette ZB Varitone is one of their stalwarts from the Fifties. It’s a four-door family sedan with a 1.8-liter straight four under the hood, delivering the kind of fuel economy that Fifties American cars could only dream about. This example has covered 75,000 miles and is up for grabs in Cadott, Wisconsin. It’s got a Varitone two-tone paint scheme and also boasts a reupholstered interior.
Imagine if an automaker made a car called Midget today! There would be mass uproar, massive social media campaigns of condemnation and a lot of flak to contend with. The world sure has become a rather touchy place. No such finickiness existed in 1961 when British sports car maker MG or Morris Garages released a diminutive two-seat roadster. They simply called it the Midget because it was one of their smaller offerings. Prior, the Midget nameplate had been seen on some of their other cars too. So what’s so funky about this 1971 MG Midget MKIII from Indiana, Pennsylvania? Well, for starters it’s a fantastic way to experience true, unadulterated sports car motoring because it relies on light weight and small dimensions to give you a good time rather than brute force and wallowing about. Granted, these cars are well built to stand the test of time. So call us ASAP if you want it.
