1951 MG T-Series Description

Original Unmolested 1951 MG TD

This car is a virtual time capsule, barn find, nearly 64 years young. Built and exported to North America (Canada) in 25-July-1951. This the first time this car has been offered for sale.

You are looking at an intact, original car. All of the original numbers match including the matching VIN and motor (http://tregister.org/search_prod.php). Also, the amazing part about this car is how good the original wood and condition of the body. It appears that this is an accident-free, no rust car.

The most recent history as told by the second owner’s daughters is that this car is perhaps a two owner car! The second and most recent owner now deceased purchased the car in Canada in the early 70’s and drove it to the United States of America. The car has been in the family since.

Mechanically the car runs and drives like it should. Mechanically it is in very good condition. The body is excellent but needs to be restored, needs a new top also. We believe that this is an original red with the black interior color scheme. (http://www.mg-cars.org.uk/mgtd/mgtd_finishes.htm).
