Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1953 MG TD offers exceptional provenance, remaining with the same family since 1962 and featuring a comprehensive body-off restoration from 1974. It includes numerous performance upgrades and a vast collection of spare parts, though it requires completion of its current restoration and a full mechanical recommissioning to become operational.
Condition
4
The car is described as requiring completion of its current restoration and a mechanical recommissioning. While a comprehensive body-off restoration was completed in 1974, it has been off the road for some time and the engine is not currently running, necessitating a full recommissioning of mechanical components. This indicates it is functional but requires significant work.
