The MG T series of cars (including the TA. TB. TC. TD. and TF) was a basic body-on-frame convertible sports car produced from 1936 through to 1955. It was replaced by the MGA. The 1950 TD combined the TC's drivetrain but with modified hypoid geared rear axle with the MG Y-type chassis and a familiar T-type style body. An independent suspension using coil springs in front was new. based on that fitted to the MG Y-type saloons. as were rack and pinion steering. smaller 15-inch disc type road wheels and a left-hand drive option. Bumpers and over-riders became standard for the first time. The car was also 5 inches wider with a track of 50 inches.

In 1950 the TD MkII was introduced. produced alongside the standard car. with a more highly tuned engine with 8. 0:1 compression ratio giving 57 bhp at 5500 rpm. It also featured twin fuel pumps revised dampers and a higher rear axle ratio. Nearly 30. 00 TDs had been produced. including about 1700 Mk II models . when the series ended in 1953 with all but 1656 exported. 23. 88 were exported to the United States.

An example tested by The Motor magazine in 1952 had a top speed of 77 mph and could accelerate from  0-60 mph in 18. 2 seconds. A fuel consumption of 26. 7 miles per imperial gallon was recorded. Our Ebay Policies:
