MG TD 1250 CC I-4 1950
General description :
Now for sale in our Houston showroom is this classy 1950 MG TD. Between the fresh paintjob and sporty engine, this car is loads of good looking fun! Under the hood of this English sports car is a Ford four cylinder engine that was rebuilt roughly 3,100 miles ago. The engine runs well and provides good power for a spirited drive around twisty roads. This sweet ride is also fitted with a few new parts, including a new battery, new starter, new fuel pump, new master cylinder, new alterator, new voltage regulator, and a new electric fan. Sending the American provided power to the rear end is a four speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly through the gears and provides a confident shifter throw. The transmission was also rebuilt when the engine was. Overall this powertrain runs well and is perfectly suited for a car like this Moving outward, the exterior of this car is finished in a two tone red/black paint jop that was redone just two years ago. The paint presents itself well and definitely accents the curves of this agile sportscar. Supporting each corner of the car are radial tires with decent life left in them. Overall, the exterior of this car is a good driver quality condition. Upon entering the vehicle, the driver will be greeted by tan vinyl seats that are very comfortable and in good condition. Laying below those seats is clean tan carpet to match. The car is somewhat minimalistic on the interior, but features an AM/FM radio that currently is not wired in. Overall the interior is in good conditon and matches up to the body well when it comes to condition. The car is nice and shows well, but not so nice that one would be afraid to drive it.
