Founded in 1924 by Cecil Kimber, the well-known British car manufacturer Morris Garages has stood the test of time. As of 2005, it is ultimately owned by SAIC Motor. The earliest MG model was the 1924 MG 14/28, which had a new sporty body on the Morris Oxford chassis. From 1936 to 1955, MG produced the MG T-type, a series of body-on-frame open two-seater sports cars. Multiple variants of the T-type were available, with the MG TD Midget introduced in 1950. This elegant car was the rage in the 50s due to its driving experience and quality build. A 1953 MG TD Midget convertible is up for grabs with just 75,622 miles on the odometer.
This 1953 MG TD Midget features a black paint job with ample chrome trimmings. The front features a green vertical grille flanked by stalk headlights in chrome and a combo of side mirrors and turn lights on the large front bumpers. The MG logo is visible on the top of the grille as well as on a chrome bar across the grille. The front bumpers, also finished in chrome, are polished to a mirror shine and show no damage or blemishes. The car's rear features a chrome horizontal grille holding the spare wheel in place and chrome rear bumpers. Completing the exterior is a white waterproof canvas top. Light green is the theme of the interior, and safe to say it matches perfectly with the exterior black. The seller reports new upholstery and new seats have been done for the interior. The dash is shaped in a sinuous pattern that is pleasing to the eyes and features the gauges and instrument cluster behind the 3-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel. MG branded carpets finish the interior look. This car is a survivor with the original paint and driveline All replaced parts are from Moss motors and originals retained for rebuild if preferred
A 1.3L (1,250cc) XPAG inline-4 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission is powering this beauty of a vintage car. In 1952 when Motor Magazine tested the MG TD Midget convertible, they achieved a top speed of 77 mph. The current owner reports a new starter and a recent oil change have been installed. A new generator from Moss Motors UK has been installed. A windshield defroster is on board, and the seller reports that original parts are available.
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.
The MG T-Type is a series of two-seater classic car produced from 1936 through 1955. This particular 1951 MG TD Roadster is one of the last of them, well-preserved by the previous owner. Although it might not seem so, the TD Roadster was a sports car of the time. The TD was specifically praised for its upgraded suspension setup and ride quality, over its previous generations. It was exclusively offered as an open-top machine with a single powertrain combination. The current owner of this particular car reports that it has been in their family for around 9–10 years. If you’re seeking a classic car in good condition or the TD Roadster in particular, this one is an impressive proposition to consider.
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.
Giant Killers. That’s what nippy British sports cars like this 1960 MG MGA are often referred to as. Unlike our typical American performance car with its large V8 and massive dimensions, British sports cars use small, frugal engines, dinky dimensions and light weight to punch massively above their class. This also makes them truly exciting to drive because remember, its always more fun to wring out a car to its very last drop of performance rather than be forced to merely toe the throttle for much of your driving time. With cars like the MGA, you can enjoy rorty revving engines and crisp cornering, all without exceeding the speed limit most of the time. If you’d like to get in on the classic British sports car action, this 3,850-mile car currently waits in Fort Mill, South Carolina, for a new owner.
You may have heard of MG or Morris Garages. This British automaker started life in 1924, founded by a man named Cecil Kimber. Kimber was many things, including a race car driver, innovator, businessman and engineer. He famously said that “a sports car should look fast even when standing still”. No wonder he created some of the best driving machines, and even after his demise in 1945, the company stayed true to his philosophy for many decades thereafter. That’s why a British sports car from the 1950s or 1960s is considered to offer a fantastic driving experience, showcasing that you don’t need a lot of power or a massive engine to have fun. This 1960 MG MGA Mark 1 Coupe is a fine example of that, with its 1.6-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual transmission. The car is for sale from Miami, and comes with 85,619 miles to its name.
