The first MG sports car to feature independent double wishbone front suspension, rack and pinion steering and twin leading-shoe front brakes, the TD-Series Midget was powered by the proven 1, 250cc XPAG engine with a 4-speed manual transmission and was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg
This smart example is finished in Woodland Green with Apple Green leather and a black hood
Restored to a superb useable level in recent years after being purchased as a rolling project in 2016
The rebuild involved all panels being removed and refinished as required, an engine rebuild and a full rewire but it had previously been retrimmed to a good level
Reportedly running and driving well but, with little use in recent years, minor recommissioning may be required
UK mainland-registered in the past but more recently resident and registered in the Isle of Man. Now in the UK but will need to be re-registered here
