This fine example comes to us from a long-term ownership as part of a large collection. The current owner has maintained her to a very high standard, which is why this TD presents well and drives beautifully.
The exterior in finished is black paint, which holds a high, level of sheen and simply glistens in the sunshine. The re is a nice amount of chrome around the car to break up the single colour, chrome bumpers, luggage rack, side, head and spot lamps, grille surround, etc etc, all in great condition.
The rad shutters and finished in cream/old English white, which matches the MG logo on the radiator shell and wheel disks.
The vinyl roof is in excellent condition, is easy to operate and tucks away neatly allowing for storage space behind the bench seat.
The dashboard is filled with the usual Lucas and Jaeger gauges, all period correct and working. The black interior is all in excellent condition, the seats are fluted and show little sign of wear, as do the black carpets.
The tried and tested 1,250cc XPAG engine fires instantly and pulls you along the road with ease, this TD is a true delight on the road, handling well and stopping as well!
In our showroom and ready for viewing.
