Registration No: 207 XVH
Chassis No: TD23533
MOT: Exempt
Although, instantly recognisable as a T-series model thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph. Riding on fifteen-inch steel wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas.
A 1953 export example, this particular TD resided in sunny California from 1953 until her return to UK shores in 2017 whereupon she underwent a ‘chassis up’ renovation which was completed last year. ‘207 XVH’ is presented in exceptional order throughout finished with stunning British Racing Green over Black coachwork and has the added benefit of a thoroughly overhauled engine and running gear. Said to ‘drive as it should’ and fitted with a new hood and tyres, the vendor currently grades the MG’s engine, paintwork and bodywork as ‘excellent’ and its transmission, electrical equipment and interior trim as ‘very good’. This is a fabulous example of this highly popular sporting model that will hopefully bring much pleasure to its new owner for many years to come.
