As British classics go, the MG TC and TD are some of the coolest little cars around, full stop. They are unique in their own right and a load of fun, even if it is more about enjoying the drive than chasing speed. They are not fast cars, but what they do have is charm, character, a surprising amount of torque, and that lovely little engine note that makes them feel alive.

Our example here looks the part in her red dress with a beige soft top, giving you that proper old-school British sports car look. Climb inside and you are greeted by that big steering wheel and that classic bonnet view ahead of you, making every drive feel like an event, even if you are only heading down the road for coffee.

Power comes from the spirited 1250cc 4-cylinder motor, paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox that gives the car a direct and engaging feel. It is light, simple and full of personality, the kind of car that reminds you just how enjoyable old motoring can be.

Please note this MG TD does not have papers and is not registered. It will also require recommissioning work before returning to the road, but for the right buyer this is a charming little project with all the makings of a very special classic
