Description
A UK Home-market MG TD. Built on the 24th April 1952 and registered in the UK as KTR 111. It was Clipper Blue from new. A file record shows the car was in the Hampshire area which concurs with the previous owner saying they bought it from a specialist based in the New Forest in 1993. Subsequently exported to Guernsey, attending events and rallies and used very little over the last few years.
In 2021 the car had extensive re-commissioning work undertaken to include the brakes, clutch, cooling system, electrics, fluids replenished and running and driving as it should be. Painted wire wheels are fitted, which is an unusual addition for a TD.
Finished in rare colour of Clipper Blue with black leather trim. This was not a standard factory colour, however you were able to specify a colour and the car was built to that specification. Closer inspection shows the wooden frame and metalwork to be in very good original condition. It looks like the car has been painted in its life, some time ago but it still presents well.
The interior looks like the original carpets, interior leather and weather gear all in good order and nicely mellowed with age. A very efficient heater is also fitted for those winter drives. The car has a hood, tonneau cover and side screens all in good condition.
A very original matching numbers example of the model, in good solid condition that drives very well after the commissioning works which have been undertaken. In a very rare light blue colour and a pleasure to drive.
The car is currently located in Dorset and viewing can be arranged by appointment. Additional pictures are available on request and we can assist with the import process if required.
