MG TD
The classic MG TD
The MG TD (1950) combined the TC's powertrain, a modified hypoid-facing rear axle, the MG Y-type chassis, a familiar T-type style body and independent coil spring suspension from the MG Y-type sedan.
For the driver, the "all-weather protection" was very good for the standards of the time. At night, the instrument lighting was effective but not dazzling, due to a light green light effect. There was still no fuel gauge but the 11 gallons of tank capacity gave a range between fuel stops of about 300 miles and a "warning" flashed on the dash when the fuel level got to about 2 ½ British gallons.
In 1950 the TD MkII was introduced, produced alongside the standard car, with a higher tuned engine using an 8.0:1 compression ratio. The higher compression ratio was offered with the export market in mind, and would not be suitable for the UK, where fuel was limited due to the war.
Nearly 30,000 TDs had been produced, including about 1,700 Mk II models, when the series ended in 1953. The biggest complaint American owners had with the MG T was the British 12-volt system, which was difficult to service when a light was turned on. or other electrical appliance was broken. They also complained about the lack of a water and fuel meter. But in general the Americans were positive about the MG TD. The TD was from 0 to 60mph in 22.7 seconds according to Popular Mechanics.
The TD reached a top speed of 77 mph in 1952, according to The Motor magazine, and could go from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 18.2 seconds. A fuel economy of 26.7 miles per gallon was determined.
In 1998, the rights, intellectual property and trademarks associated with the production of MG TD were acquired by TD Auto's Sdn Bhd of Malaysia to reproduce the TD series as TD2000.
