Being sold at No Reserve is a 1953 MG TD, Chassis #TD32248.
All proceeds from this sale will be going to help fund new construction and education programs at Owls Head Transportation Museum.
Until recently, this TD has sat for an extensive period of time in storage, This MG was given to the museum by an estate nearby with the purpose of being sold at auction.
Having not run under its own power for an extended period, Owls Head volunteers undertook an analysis check over of all of the systems to return this vehicle to a running condition. Work performed on this vehicle included inspecting the vehicle overall, an oil check and service, new coolant, new points, spark plugs, and distributor cap. The fuel pump was repaired and all of the brake shoes and cylinders at each wheel were inspected.
The 4-cylinder engine is paired with a 4 speed manual transmission and was found to run and shift well. The engine is a correct TD engine. Owls Head volunteers and staff have driven this vehicle on museum property as part of their sorting out and inspection process. While museum staff has done a great amount of work in resurrecting this classic MG, further attention may be needed to bring this extremely solid MG back to its full driving potential. Sold with a title.
