As an alternative to the offerings from Detroit MGs provided enthusiasts with a light attractive roadster that was great fun to drive.The MG TD for 1950 became even more popular than its predecessor and a sports car icon in its own right. Alongside traditional MG styling it featured an all-new independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering.
