For sale is a 1952 MGTD/C Mark II roadster- competition edition. Only 900 ever produced! Original mileage reading at 24,588. This is a very rare car, 1,710 TDC Models were produced out of a production run of 29,664 MGTDs. Approximately 5% of total production. As a result of the demand for a car with the MG TD's classic look, but with better handling characteristics and more power, MG built a limited number of TD/C's, the 'C' standing for competition. An additional set of Andrex friction dampers were added to the shock absorbers of the car which was additionally equipped with twin fuel pumps, arger twin (13/4') carburetors, arger intake and exhaust valves, stronger valve springs, arger oil sump and other mechanical modifications. This car has the original radio which was installed in the glove box as a special option. Also, there is an extremely rare, day-night rear view mirror flip up option. Optional heater unit installed. Windwings, tonneau cover, luggage rack, excellent top and side curtains. It has always been parked in a climate-controlled garage, at the residence, and covered for over 30 years. Southern car that looks like it did when it ran in mid-fifties. Wonderful patina. Matching numbers in British Green with Red interior. Comes equipped with its original XPAG engine, soft top, side curtains and tonneau cover. Just came out of the dry state of Arizona where it has been sitting for many years. Very collectible. Excellent car needing some light finishing touches. It has larger carburetors (1½' bore) and increased inlet ports. These carburetors where marked 4031 which are different than the carburetors installed in the later MGTF ( the Original Mark II Carbs will come with car).
