The
MG TD was the successor of the MG TC, the British sports car
that stole the hearts of the American soldiers returning to
their country. Like the MG TC, America was the most important
market for the TD. Chassis and body of the TD were largely
similar to the TC. But the TD had a rack and pinion
steering-gear, coil springs (instead of the leaf springs) and an
independent wheel suspension in the front. The wings were
different in form, as the large 19-inch wire wheels in the TD
gave way to 15-inch wheels. A Mk II version was introduced in
1950, and was built simultaneously with the Mk I. The Mk II had
a more powerful engine and a "power bulge" on the
engine valve on the right.
The MG TD was in production until 1953 and was replaced by the
MG TF.
