As an added service to
our customers, British Sportscar Center offers a consignment sale service.
Most of these cars have been personally inspected by our staff and are
known to be in excellent condition. (Where this is not the case, we will
give you all the information we have on the car and tell you why we
believe the car to be worth buying.) Usually, the cars are located in the
Northern California/Nevada area, sometimes viewable at our shop, sometimes
remaining in the owner’s custody. Please contact us if you would like more
details about any of the cars listed below. Send
your requests to: British Sportscar Center or

1952 MG TD ....... $18,950
Sold |
|
Not often do we see as nice a TD as this one
come up for sale! Restored over a 15-year period after having been in
the same family for most of its life, the car has since seen use for
club events and outings, including several long-distance trips. These it
has managed with no problems and it has always performed like a TD would
have done back in the Fifties. It lived in California until a year or so
ago, when it was sold and moved to Seattle, WA. There it has been always
garaged and used only occasionally on sunny days. Presently the car has
no mechanical or cosmetic needs. Indeed, all it lacks is a new home -
its present owner is leaving Seattle and returning to England, where the
weather is even less conducive to TD use than that of Washington.
The pictures show the excellent condition
of the car but feel free to e-mail us any questions about the
restoration or other aspects of its condition or maintenance. If you've
been looking for a restored TD that isn't a "trailer queen" but a car
meant to be driven and enjoyed, as well as entered in local car shows,
this could be the one for you. The asking price is $18,950 (much less
than a proper restoration would cost) but sensible offers will be
considered.

1953 MG TD Mk II
................ $23,500 |
|
Your chance to own a beautifully restored, rare TD Mk II
for about half the cost of the restoration! As the pictures show, this
was a "no-expense-spared" restoration, completed in 1995 and hardly used
since then. The body tub was rebuilt by Whitworth Shop in Novelty, OH,
the engine was rebuilt by Hinkle Restorations in Thomasville, NC, the
bodywork and paint were beautifully done by Georgia Coachworks in
Fayetteville, GA. The color is a 1990 BMW 5-series shade called "Bronzit
Beige Metallic". This Mk II has the correct twin fuel pumps, 1-1/2" SUs
on the original larger intake manifold and the Mk II air cleaner
assembly. It also has the original supplemental Andrex shock absorbers.
Interestingly, this TD also has a very rare period accessory that was
intended to boost horsepower - a 2-piece exhaust manifold that leads
into a dual exhaust system. Built in October 1952, registered in 1953, this is car number 18579 with
engine number XPAG/TD3/18373. The car, which is presently located in
Minden NV, drives as nicely as it looks and would make an excellent car
for club events and shows. The owner has receipts showing over $42,000
invested (at mid-Nineties prices!) but is reluctantly selling now for
just $23,500 or very near offer. We will be happy to assist with
arranging transportation to wherever you live.
