The TD Roadster is a two-seater with a soft top and tonneau cover. The current owner reports that this 1951 MG TD Roadster was repainted, and it flaunts a Yellow / Brown exterior. The interior is fairly simple and specced in Black. The analog dials on the wood-finished dashboard emanate an explicit retro appeal. There is no A/C, radio, or fuel gauge. However, a warning light on the dashboard flashes when the fuel level in the 14.5-gallon gas tank depletes to around 3.0 gallons. This TD Roaster is undoubtedly a prestigious piece of automotive history, preserved to be cherished by the current and future generations.
Powering this retro sports car is a 1.3-liter (1,250cc) inline-4 motor, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels. The TD Roaster features a rack and pinion steering, hypoid-geared rear axle, and an independent suspension setup upfront. All of these factors empowered the TD to deliver improved ride quality compared to its predecessors and competitors of the time. Although it is of little importance now, the TD Roadster has been reported to accelerate to 60 mph in 18.2 seconds. Top speed is limited to an impressive 77 mph. Overall, this time capsule is a desirable machine for collectors and classic car enthusiasts.

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.

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.
There’s a segment of people who don’t want large sports cars with immense engines and vulgar horsepower figures. They don’t crave for sizable bodies and significant bulk. Instead, they prefer the lightness and simplicity of the traditional British roadster. There are plenty of fine examples from myriad manufacturers to pick, and today, we’ve got one from Morris Garages, or MG for short. This 1955 MG TF comes from their T-Type lineage of 1936 to 1955. So, it’s from the last year of production of the series, and has traveled almost 80,000 miles so far. Having undergone a full restoration and with a car cover included in the sale, this fine British roadster awaits a new owner in Lexington, Virginia.
Morris Garages, or MG for short, used to be an iconic British automaker, responsible for some stunning sports cars, as well as more workmanlike family sedans. Today, the brand is owned by the Chinese and churns out mostly SUVs. The spunky sports cars of yore are no longer, save for examples like this 1975 MG MGB from Charleston, South Carolina. The MGB was made between 1962 and 1980, as the successor to the MGA. Nearly 524,000 cars were made during this time, but not many were preserved as time progressed on. So, this car, with its 75,790 miles and replaced convertible top represents not only a great way to enjoy a weekend back road blast, but a pretty darn good investment as well.
