1951 MG TD. Following on from the successful MG TC the TD first appeared in 1949, introducing some much needed postwar refinements. The TD now featured Independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering produced improved handling. The body still retained the 1930s style body but now had pressed steel wheels and chrome bumpers. It was available in Left Hand Drive format for export customers. In 1951 a Mk II TD entered production featuring a more powerful 60 hp engine, which offered much better performance. The car sold extremely well and was only replaced in 1953 by the MG TF.
