Sparkling little TD2 with only just over 200 miles since a comprehensive and finely detailed long-term restoration.The MG T-series, for most enthusiasts, epitomises the spirit of the Abingdon marque, delivering a blend of lively performance, vintage styling and above all, the sort of wind-in-the-hair driving experience one expects from a traditional British sports car. The original T-series Midget was launched before the war, evolving into the short-lived TB and TC models, before the TD was announced in November 1949, bringing with it the first major attempt at restyling since the end of WWII. With a track widened by some five inches to improve interior space, along with new independent coil spring front suspension and rack and pinion steering (sourced from the Y-type), the TD was sold with steel disc wheels in place of the previously used wire-spoked items and bumpers (with over-riders) were standard equipment as well. The interior was revised to make it more habitable but retained the flavour of the original T-series, with folding windscreen, full instrumentation, and a minimum of superfluous decoration. Powering the TD was essentially the same XPAG 1250cc engine in use since 1939, but an increased compression ratio from 1950 saw power up from 55bhp to 60bhp and, in July 1951, the XPAG received a new block, a new sump, a new bell-housing and a new flywheel in order to accommodate a larger clutch. The engine number prefix was changed to TD2, and MG TDs fitted with this engine have subsequently become known as TD2 models. With the sports car movement in the United States in full swing, it wasn't surprising that the vast majority of TD production crossed the Atlantic.Now finished in Old English White with the correct green grille slats and a superb Apple Green interior, this original, left-hand drive TD2 has undergone a chassis-up restoration and conversion to right-hand drive. Delivered new to California in 1952 before returning to the UK in 1986, the rebuild was commenced by a retired engineer in 1996 before finally reaching fruition some 25 years later in 2019. As is evident from our images, no stone was left unturned during this comprehensive and long term project from the chassis and body through all mechanical components to the trim and final detailing, all areas received fastidious attention. The sprung steering wheel looks original as do the instruments and switches, however, the dashboard and the door cards wear fresh Rexine and the bespoke monogrammed carpets finish off the lovely cockpit. As you might expect the engine bay is tidy and very impressive. The odometer currently reads 209 miles which we guess is post-restoration, so a further period of running-in is advised to bring the best out of this delightful MG. Some 70 years have passed since TD14680 rolled off the production line, however, it's once again resplendent in its traditional colour scheme and original specification including the delightful steel wheels as it would have been all those years ago. An instantly recognisable T-Series MG, extensively rebuilt and awaiting its next custodian.SpecificationMake: MGModel: MIDGETYear: 1952Chassis Number: TD14680Registration Number: XVV 741Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 10424Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Green HideClick here for more details and images
Not your usual fully restored Series I, but full of charm and with an interesting history, ready to grace any period drama or The Goodwood Revival. Over the years, here at Silverstone Auctions in conjunction with Classic Car Auctions, we have been pleased to offer over 150 Land Rovers, including examples supplied to the armed forces, which always hold a special cachet.As an engineering marvel, the Land Rover can still outstrip its modern counterparts, and the Series I rightly belongs in the Motoring Hall of Fame. Hugely successful globally, improvements were made throughout its long lifespan. In 1950, the lights were moved from a position behind the grille to protrude through the mesh and in 1952, a larger, stronger and more reliable 2.0-litre petrol engine replaced the original 1.6-litre. The 1954 model year brought major changes, the 80-inch (2.03 m) wheelbase model was replaced by an 86-inch (2.18 m) wheelbase model, and a 107-inch (2.72 m) wheelbase ‘pick-up’ version was introduced, offering a variety of applications.The car presented here is a 1955 Land Rover Series I 107-inch which, in 1956, was issued to the RAF, and subsequently converted to an Aircraft Crash Rescue vehicle in 1959. It then went on to work at Marshalls of Cambridge and then into civilian ownership. Obviously, over its working life it must have been well-maintained doing such important work (and hopefully seldom used as a crash vehicle) and consequently survived in such a state to be a worthy contender for restoring, building on its inherent preservation and originality and going on to have a new life as a classic vehicle worthy of a Land Rover collection and gracing any show.Our marque enthusiast/engineer vendor purchased this vehicle as a project a couple of years ago and has meticulously restored it back to its original rescue vehicle condition. The work done to it includes its original chassis being fully cleaned and coated in two-part epoxy, the fitment of a new Autosparks wiring loom, a full engine (being a slightly newer and possibly a replacement unit) and gearbox rebuild, the addition of an original Winkworth bell and original search light, a stainless-steel exhaust, new brakes and brake lines (with original calipers being reconditioned) and new Avon Traction tyres. The original panels (left in their preserved state) were treated to a full respray.This charming Land Rover is accompanied by a copy of its RAF Vehicle Card documenting its history, plus a book entitled British Military Land Rovers in which it is mentioned.Often restored and rebuilt but rarely to this standard, this lovely Series I is now ready to be enjoyed once again, be that starring in a period drama, gracing the aerodrome at a vintage airshow, or looking the part at a 1950s re-enactment gathering – it would be superb at The Goodwood Revival, or simply ambling to a country pub on a Sunday, a delightful vehicle to own and appreciate.
