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.

Being behind the wheel of a machine is an experience - it should be an experience that is engaging and has you wanting more. Present today is precisely that, driving nirvana brought to you by this lovely slice of British motoring. A genuinely remarkable 1953 MG TD.
