The Appeal

When WW2 came to a close, MG were left cash-strapped and eager to take advantage of the blossoming sports car market. They didn't have time nor resource for new styling, so they turned their eyes to the pre-war silhouette of the T-Type. It was an impressive USP - a fearlessly old-fashioned roadster with a perky straight-four engine and a comfortable cabin. 
This 1953 car is a particularly solid one, that's never been welded and has been very nicely kept. Presented in an attractive ivory livery with a beige leather cabin, this TD retains a beautiful patina that showcases its authentic character while benefiting from comprehensive mechanical refurbishment. With matching numbers and documented maintenance history from TGA Oldtimer Centrum Aachen, this handsome TD ticks plenty of boxes.
