A super example of the comparatively rare Mk II TD Midget. An older restoration with upgraded engine components and a huge history file.
The TD-Series Midget was the first MG sports car to feature independent double wishbone front suspension and rack and pinion steering and the new model also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, a scuttle reinforcement hoop and twin leading-shoe front brakes. Powered by the proven 54bhp, 1,250cc XPAG engine with a 4-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 75mph and 26mpg. Introduced in 1951, the more powerful Mk II offered 60bhp and 82mph.
This wonderful, original UK-supplied Mk II is a matching numbers car finished in Apple Green with beige leather seats, a matching Rexine-covered dashboard, white-faced Jaeger instruments, Bakelite switches and a Bluemels Bakelite wheel. #29477 was one of the last built, leaving Abingdon on 16/07/1953 bound for Parkside Garage in Coventry. Subject to a body-off restoration some years ago and the gearbox, front suspension and rear brake cylinders were rebuilt in 2017. During the engine rebuild it was treated to a steel billet Phoenix crankshaft, new camshaft and flywheel starter ring gear and more recently, a Brown and Gammons rear crank seal conversion.
