This 1953 MG TD is powered by a replacement XPAG inline-four that was rebuilt to displace 1,466 cc in 2014, and it is linked to a Ford-sourced five-speed manual transmission that was installed in 2019. Finished in red over black leather, the car features a black soft top, 15″ knock-off wire wheels, front disc brakes, dual Hella halogen driving lights, a luggage rack, and twin windshield-mounted mirrors. Following the seller’s 2023 acquisition, an LED high-level brake light and dual master brake cylinder were installed, and the black soft top, carpets, harness, alternator, distributor, ignition coil, and spark plugs were replaced. This TD is now offered with the owner’s manual, service logs, spare parts, side curtains, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in red, and it features a black soft top that was installed in 2023 along with an LED high-level brake light and a badge bar that is equipped with dual Hella halogen driving lights. Additional features include a rear luggage rack, a folding windshield, and twin side mirrors.

The 15″ knock-off wire wheels are mounted with Vredestein Sprint Classic tires, and stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. In 2023, an MGB-spec dual master brake cylinder was installed, and the tie rod ends and shocks were reportedly replaced.

The cabin houses a split bench seat trimmed in black leather, and amenities include a passenger-side grab handle, map pockets, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror. The carpets and door latches were replaced under current ownership, per the seller.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted on an adjustable column and frames Jaeger instrumentation consisting of a 100-mph speedometer and a tachometer with an inset clock as well as auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, amperage, and coolant temperature. A voltmeter with USB outputs is installed ahead of the gearshift lever. The five-digit odometer shows 64k miles, approximately 800 of which were added under current ownership. The seller states the mileage is not accurate, and total mileage is unknown.

The replacement XPAG inline-four was rebuilt to displace 1,466cc in 2014, according to a service log presented in the gallery, with a TF-spec block and pistons as well as upgraded rods and bearings, and replacement tappets and camshaft bearings. In 2023, a replacement wiring harness and a Tudor Dynamator alternator was installed, while the spark plugs, rotor, condenser, distributor, ignition coil, and ballast resistor were replaced in 2024, at which point the valves were adjusted. The oil was changed in preperation for the sale.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ford-sourced five-speed manual transmission that was installed with a Moss Motors conversion kit.
