1951 mg td - bellevue, wapark place ltdbellevue, wa 98005ph: 4255621000web: n/aoptions:description:this 1951 mg td is a magnificent example of the classic british roadster and is an absolute joy to drive. 1. 3-litre (1,250cc) 54hp/64lb-ft 4-cylinder engine. 4-speed manual trans. The mg td has truly classic looks, not unlike early jaguars and triumphs. The design is magic. It's elegant and absolutely stylish, with a disproportionately long hood. Professionally restored and excellent throughout. The mg td is a standard transmission, rear-wheel-drive roadster. It represents the state-of-the-art in engine design, transmission, and suspension... The mg does have rack and pinion steering, which for its time was a superb offering --- and was a big improvement over the reins and stirrups that were in use just a few years earlier.

Perfectly patina'ed red leather seats, flawless door panels, carpet, dash and interior trim & controls are all beyond reproach. The cleanliness of the undercarriage displays the high level of care provided by its previous mg enthusiast owner. Everything from the wooden frame, to the brake and fuel lines, suspension components, horns and steering components are in all in excellent condition and show to a very high standard. The 1950 td midget combined the tc's drivetrain, a modified hypoid-geared rear axle, the mg y-type chassis, a familiar t-type style body and independent suspension using coil springs from the mg y-type saloon: a 1950 road-test report described as most striking the resulting transformation ... In the comfort of riding. Also lifted from the company's successful 11/4-litre saloon for the td was the (still highly geared) rack and pinion steering. In addition the td featured 15-inch disc type road wheels, a left-hand drive option and. Leather Seats
