Description

The traditional MG: light, uick, ith cut-down doors and flowing fenders, nd that upright MG grille up front. Evolution was slow at Morris Garage, ut there's a reason why cars like this 1952 MG TD were brought home by the hundreds by GIs returning from Europe, nd why they remain wildly popular today.The look is pure pre-war, ith separate fenders and a long hood, ut the energetic handling and performance were quite contemporary. This MG has been restored as needed, ut not to the point where you're afraid to drive it, hich misses the point entirely. The body construction was traditional, ut that also means that it's light and easy to repair, nd this one shows no signs of serious damage or the MG's arch-nemesis, ust. Hood and door fit are quite good, nd the bright red paint is a very correct-looking finish that's got a great shine but no metallic, o it looks right on the diminutive little roadster. It shows signs of use and age, ut the overall presentation is what endears MGs to their legions of fans, nd this car gets the look right. Of course, hings like the chrome grille, tand-alone headlights, nd simple bumpers give it an old-fashioned look, nd they're all in good original condition, ith the usual light pitting but nothing that needs immediate attention.Inside the cabin, here's adequate room for two once you settle into the low bucket seats and assume the proper driving position. In actuality, ou'll probably find it's easy to spend hours behind the wheel without fatigue and there's plenty of room for two normal-sized folks so no complaints about long road trips in this neat little roadster. Well, aybe your cheeks will be hurting from grinning so much, ut the driving experience is involving without being exhausting. The interesting split bench seat has been properly reupholstered in pleated black vinyl, hich does a pretty good impersonation of leather without the added maintenance. Matching door panels are the essence of simplicity and black carpets complete the ensemble. The padded dashboard houses an array of pretty Smiths instruments that retain the vintage British look, nd we're particularly fond of the bright metal center panel with the secondary controls. The original three spoke steering wheel has that traditional skinny rim and there are wind wings that help keep the cabin comfortable at speed. And since MG lovers are serious about their cars, his one includes what appears to be the original convertible top and a full tonneau for the cockpit.The whole point of an MG isn't brute power, ut they're plenty peppy with the 1250 cc inline-four, nd it has a wonderful baritone exhaust note that's half the experience. This one is a wonderful runner, iring up easily through dual side-draft SU carburetors inhaling through a single air cleaner. The whole engine is scarcely bigger than a briefcase, ut all the parts are easy to get at and maintain, hich is the whole point. The engine's linked to a slick-shifting 4-speed manual transmission whose light action and progressive clutch are the cornerstone of performance driving and you'll never get tired of dropping down a gear to hear the engine's song. The chassis is a simple ladder frame with an independent front suspension, recent exhaust system, nd steel wheels with chrome hubcaps that look right and wear appropriately tall 165R15 whitewall radial tires.One drive and you'll see why it's so easy to love an MG and why the market on these cars is on the way up.
