1950/1951 MG TD Right Hand Drive

1950 MG T-Series Description

The time has come to let go of my right hand drive MG-TD. Phycologists have a term for not wanting to get rid of possessions. They call it "Loss Eversion". I guess they're right, I still hate to sell it thinking I'll once again become interested. Ah well. Don't want my wife to have it hauled off after I'm gone so time to face the fact my interest is over and I'm never going to get it back on the road again.

I purchased the car from a local MG enthusiast. He told me the engine had been rebuilt by the previous owner. Never had a reason to doubt that but I can offer no proof. In the time I drove this I had no issues with the engine other than it running hot. More on that later.

Here is a list of the cars deficiencies as I remember them.

The listed mileage is what is on the odometer. I have no idea of the actual mileage.

The original air filter is gone. PO replaced with chrome side mounts. Those are not presently on the carbs and I'm not sure I can find them. But I never drove the car without the filters on. Those were removed for carb adjusting after rebuild and minutes before setting the car on fire!!
