About the MG TD:
The MG TD was introduced in 1950 as the successor to the TC and represented a leap forward for MG. It combined the classic British sports car styling that enthusiasts loved with modern refinements like independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and a stiffer chassis. Powered by a spirited 1250cc inline-four engine, the TD offered nimble handling and lively performance, making it one of the most popular sports cars of its era particularly in the U.S., where it helped ignite the postwar sports car boom.
