1951 MG TD

No one buys an MG TD for its power. Instead, this early post-war British import charmed us with its nimbleness and how well it really got us in touch with the road. And while MG would always be more \"plucky\" than outright powerful, this 1951 MG TD Restomod understands what it\'s like to live in the land of the muscle car. It has been given a GM motor that nearly quadruples the displacement! And more than just a larger powerhouse, you have a properly re-engineered setup with four-wheel disc brakes, a four-link rear, and the added control of a five-speed. So take some extra time looking over this MG restomod, because they took plenty of time creating a car that still looks graceful and feels nimble - but it now is also seriously powerful.

You can\'t help but love a sleeper style like this. Not too many people will recognize the well-disguised big rear tires, and as long as the exhaust cutouts are capped, it sounds gutsy without being outrageous. In fact, they took the time to give this a terrific restoration that you\'d want on just your standard MG TD. So this just looks like a fresh red-on-red stylish roadster from the first impression. And the kind of power-to-weight ratio you have can really embarrass some exotic machinery if you choose to turn your tweed cap around. This is the muscle car of MGs, and since there\'s only one around, you know you can\'t miss this deal. Call today!!!
