MG TD 1953
On offer is a lovely time warp MG TD from 1953, the car is presented in Ivory with red leather seats, the reason we say time warp is simply because the car was fully restored to an exceptional standard in the early 1980's and has remained unused since with the benefit of having been stored in excellent conditions resulting in what you an see here, the car has a great story in so far as when restored the then owner upset his wife who was so angry and enraged that she attacked the car throwing paint and whatever else came to hand in the garage all over the car, we are told that the owner claimed against his insurance and now former wife and the car became subject of an insurance claim, the owner could not face the car or prospect of repair so the car was sold as it was. The car was purchased by a private collector who went to some efforts to rectify it but then simply stored it in his showroom and enjoyed sharing the story, this was in the early 1980's, and there it rested for some 40 years, it was then sold [by us] to another private collector who further tidied up some areas for example the seats , new battery, new tyres etc. The car was also then made to is would start and run and move around under its own steam but still remaining unused since the restoration all those years ago. The car presents wonderfully and the quality of the original restoration is completely evident and certainly far more than skin deep. The car is now on offer for sale again. The MG still bears some evidence of the vandalism all those years ago, the windscreen is cracked, the one headlamp shell has a dent and the soft top [unused] is still splattered with paint! The car starts and runs, the engine tends to smoke a little [possibly sticking piston rings] but might well clear with use, the brakes could also do with attention all straightforward jobs on what can only be described as a superb example that to repeat is a true time-warp former show car. The car retains its original registration number and has a V5c..... So even after a 45 year old concourse standard of restoration it has yet to be used and enjoyed on the open roads.
Please call for more information.
