1951 MG TD Reg.no. GVA 707 Chassis no. TD 10168 Engine no. 27576 The penultimate T series Midget appeared in 1949, being a larger car than its predecessor. The TD owed much to the contemporary Y type saloon, using a narrowed and modified version of its box frame chassis. On this sat an all new body with more room than before, whilst retaining the classic looks of the traditional MG sports car. The saloon parentage was not a handicap, for the Y type was a more advanced design than the TC, employing independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering. Although traditional in appearance the TD offered greatly increased elbow room for the occupants when compared to the TC. From August 1951 a larger clutch was fitted with associated changes to the flywheel and bell housing. These were known as the TD II. Restoration on this example began back in 1974, and a nut and bolt restoration followed, which included a new ash frame. The chassis was shot blasted and stove enamelled, the running gear and brakes were completely overhauled and most recently a full re-trim was carried out including full weather equipment, to a very high standard.
