THE HISTORY
This is an incredible 1953 MG TD Roadster. This is a very rare vehicle and is in very good condition. The MG TD
Roadster shows only 62,262 miles on the odometer. The VIN is TD18226, the Body # is 17546/91783, and the Engine
# is XPAG/TD2/16726. This vehicle was kept in a collection in Texas for about 20 years before being acquired by
a vintage vehicle dealership in 2008. This dealership decided to give the MG a full restoration. The entire
body was disassembled, cleaned, sanded, primed, and painted in British Racing Green and put back together.
Mechanically, the vehicle had the gas tank boiled and cleaned, new fuel lines, new fuel hoses, new fuel filter,
the carbs cleaned and rebuilt with new floats, new master cylinder, new front and rear brake shoes, new front
and rear wheel clyinders, new spark plugs, new points and condenser, new right side fender mirror, new radiator
hoses, new valve cover gasket, new oil breather tube, new choke cable, new battery, new tires, new gear shift
rubber snug, new carpeting, new flume extended for pedals, new rubber mounting pads for all lights and mirrors
and glass, new door hinges, new air filter, new stop lamp switch, and new voltage regulator. Also, a complete
oil service and coolant flush were done. The wood was all refinished, the canvas top was cleaned and treated,
and the seating was cleaned and conditioned. The engine and transmission were fully inspected and found to be
in excellent condition. This took about a year to do and in June of 2009 the vehicle was sold to a collector
here in South Florida. This collector put the MG in his warehouse with his other vintage vehicles.
Unfortunatly, this collector took ill and stopped enjoying his collection. The family asked him to sell the
vehicles as he was not enjoying them and they were just sitting covered in dust. We purchased a few with the
intent to keep some and resell some. We had this MG taken to our facility were we simply had to change the
battery, replace the fuel, clean a few connections, and poof... it started right up and runs beautifully. The
MG looks beautiful... but keep in mind the restoration is a few years old now so it has some cosmetic issues
here and there... but it can be kept as it is and be fully enjoyed and even shown at some events.... or you
could spruce it up and win some concours shows !! We have a CD with the restoration photos which will be given
to you.
Overall, I would say this is not a 100point show car that is going to win you PebbleBeach, HOWEVER, it is
indeed a wonderful starting point for a complete concours restoration OR a perfect vehicle to drive and enjoy
and take to local car shows and show off !!

IMPORTANT - TERMS OF SALE !!!
We reserve the right to end this auction early. The vehicle is advertised not just on ebay. People do live
local to us and come to see the vehicle and make offers. People call us on the phone and make us offers. Please
understand that while this is a no reserve auction and the high bidder at the end will be the winner, most
auctions do not make it to the end as we usually get made an acceptable offer prior to that happening… so
please call us if you don’t want to take that chance. Remember, you can call Danny at 954-632-0000 with any
questions or to make an offer. Please try to call between 9am and 9pm EST.
IMPORTANT - TERMS OF SALE !!!
Buyer pays shipping. We can help with some phone numbers for shippers, but will not hire them for you. Buyer
must provide at least a $500 deposit via Paypal, bank wire transfer, or bank cashiers check within 24 hours of
auction end and balance must be paid by bank wire transfer or bank cashiers check within 5 days thereafter. If
Paypal is used for deposit... it will only be considered a holding deposit but not as actual funds. The entire
balance must be paid by bank wire or bank cashiers check and the paypal deposit will be refunded. Paypal is
just a convenience feature and not considered an actual source of real money to us. If you do not agree with
this... do not use them or do not bid. Vehicle will be released to shipper or to you ONLY after funds have
cleared or have been verified. A $260 FL Dealer fee applies to this vehicle regardless of if you live in FL or

IMPORTANT - FLORIDA LAW REGARDING SALES TAX
If you live in FL, you will pay us 6% sales tax and any county surtax and DMV Tag & Title Fees. If you live
outside of Florida, sales tax IS collected at YOUR state's sales tax rate up to a maximum of 6%. You will be
given a special notarized form (FL DR-123) that states that you have paid this sales tax and you will NOT be
double taxed on the amount of tax you paid when you get home. This is FL LAW and the sales tax is collected
even if you hire a transport company to get the vehicle for you. If you live outside of the USA, you are tax
exempt ONLY if you have the vehicle trucked away from us by a licensed export company and a Bill of Lading and
Export Receipt must be provided to us. Dealers need to provide a valid dealer license, resale certificate, and
intent to resell affidavit to be tax exempt. This is Florida law and we will follow the law. No Exceptions !!
