The Plus
Looking at this lovely MG TD, it's easy to see why it was such a success after the war. It may have looked like a pre-war car, but its bold styling, robust engineering and cheerful character were perfectly suited to the peace era.
These are all qualities that have kept TDs popular with classic car enthusiasts. Excellent parts availability and specialist technical support are also important factors.
This car benefited from both of these factors, as it underwent a complete restoration, including body disassembly, which included work on the bodywork itself, paintwork, trim and mechanicals. The engine was completely rebuilt with new bearings.
The car began its life in Arizona before arriving in France around 15 years ago. On arrival, it was extensively restored by the current owner, who is a qualified engineer. The work included retaining the original paint colour while switching to green for the interior and grille blades. All this is complemented by an elegant beige mohair roof.
With only a few kilometres covered since the work was completed, the car is now in very good condition. Here's an opportunity to take advantage of all that work.

If an auction vehicle doesn't sell, it may be converted into a “Make an offer” listing. This will retain all of the details of the auction listing but replace the bidding functionality with an offering system whereby potential buyers can make an offer on the vehicle. To take the hassle out of the whole process and to prevent any unnecessary squabbling we'll automatically decline anything less than 70% of the asking price so only offers that are worth considering will be accepted. Make an offer listings include a “Make an offer” button. Simply click on this and enter the amount you’d like to offer and the seller will either accept, decline or counter. Easy peasy. If you don’t have a Car & Classic account with a registered bank card you’ll be prompted to set one up at this point.
If your offer is accepted, you’ll be charged a service fee. The amount depends on the cost of the vehicle and is an additional cost on top of the offer amount. Starting from as little as £/€300, it covers the cost of our various auction and escrow services, but rest assured, we're not in the woollen eyewear business and so the exact amount is always displayed upfront before you place your bid. You will only be charged if your offer is accepted.
The service fee is a charge in addition to any accepted offer amount that varies depending on the cost of the vehicle. Starting from as little as £/€300, the exact fee is clearly displayed upfront before any offer is placed so you always know exactly how much you'll be charged. It covers the cost of our various auction and escrow services and allows us to continue to provide a secure and professional platform from which to transact safely.
If you've ever squeezed a lemon then this'll be a doddle. Firstly you'll need to be logged in to your Car & Classic account and have added a valid payment card to your profile. Once these steps have been completed you can then make an offer by clicking on the "Make an offer" button on the listing page and entering your offer amount before clicking on the “Submit Offer” button underneath.
