About the MG TD
The MG TD (1949-1953) modernized the T-Type with independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. Wider body improved comfort. Still using the 54hp XPAG engine. 29,664 produced, mostly exported to America. The TD brought MG handling into the modern era.
Known Issues to Watch For
Front suspension bushes wear - gives vague steering feel. Rack-and-pinion maintenance critical. Rust affects chassis as per earlier T-Types. XPAG engine robust. Check rear axle for wear. Body simpler than TC (all-steel wings).
Desirable Options
TD Mk II with higher compression and larger carbs (57hp). Competition prepared examples. Matching numbers. Full weather equipment. Original tools and handbook.
