The TD Roadster is a two-seater with a soft top and tonneau cover. The current owner reports that this 1955 MG TD Roadster was repainted, and it flaunts a Yellow / Brown exterior. The interior is fairly simple and specced in Black. The analog dials on the wood-finished dashboard emanate an explicit retro appeal. There is no A/C, radio, or fuel gauge. However, a warning light on the dashboard flashes when the fuel level in the 14.5-gallon gas tank depletes to around 3.0 gallons. This TD Roaster is undoubtedly a prestigious piece of automotive history, preserved to be cherished by the current and future generations.
Powering this retro sports car is a 1.3-liter (1,250cc) inline-4 motor, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels. The TD Roaster features a rack and pinion steering, hypoid-geared rear axle, and an independent suspension setup upfront. All of these factors empowered the TD to deliver improved ride quality compared to its predecessors and competitors of the time. Although it is of little importance now, the TD Roadster has been reported to accelerate to 60 mph in 18.2 seconds. Top speed is limited to an impressive 77 mph. The current owner reports a new set of brakes. Overall, this time capsule is a desirable machine for collectors and classic car enthusiasts.

From the ’30s to the ’50s, MG was undoubtedly excelled in the sports car arena. Their simple yet engaging T-Type models offered motorsports-winning pedigree to a broad audience and were distinct in their style. The MG TD was the fourth iteration of the T-Type chassis, which started with the TD. While the car’s lineage was still unmistakable, the Midget adopted a more sophisticated approach to the drivetrain. This includes the hypoid-geared rear axle of the MG Y-Type and independent front suspension. Our featured car is a 1952 MG TD Roadster Replica, which has been painstakingly recreated to offer an idea of what the original car would have looked like. Being a relatively modern reincarnation, this replica has reportedly run just 20,000 miles.
American automotive ethos often revolves around muscle, size, and sheer power. The mantra is usually "bigger is better," both in terms of physical dimensions and engine displacement. However, across the pond, the British took a completely different approach for decades. The 1953 MG TD standing before you is the epitome of this British philosophy – a dainty two-seater with an engine smaller than a Coke bottle. Despite its diminutive size, it's now on the market, offering enthusiasts the chance to unravel the charm of British roadsters and understand why these petite marvels have garnered global admiration, even in the vast expanses of America.
For us Americans, the idea of sporty driving means large vehicles with massive V8s and at least 300 horses waiting to be unleashed. Across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, things were rather different in the ʼ60s, ʼ70s and ʼ80s. There, a sports car was a little thing, often no larger than a compact car, often sporting a four-cylinder engine under the hood. Enter the world of the British Roadster – open-topped machines with modest power figures and low kerb weights. This 1977 MG MGB Mark IV Roadster is a prime example of a ʼ70s British Roadster and it’s for sale by its original owner right now. The car boasts a host of new parts, a rebuilt engine, and up-to-date servicing. What more could you ask for?

For just three short years, Chevy made a vehicle named the Fleetmaster. Yes, that’s quite a bold name, isn’t it? On sale in 1946, just after World War II had ended, the Fleetmaster was offered as a coupe, sedan, sedan delivery and, exclusively for Australia, a coupe utility or ute. Curiously, the Stylemaster wasn’t a top-tier Chevy; instead it was a more mainstream offering. Production ended in 1948 with the Chevrolet Special taking over. So, if you want a relatively rare Chevy that slips under most classic car collectors’ radar, this 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster 2-Door Sport Coupe is a great way to go about it. The car currently resides in California, patiently waiting for a new owner to love and cherish it - after all, it’s near-on eighty years old!
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
Mercury is an American automaker that has long since been mothballed. But the storied brand has been pivotal in the development of America's automotive landscape. The brand was sat between Ford's mainstream lineup and the more luxurious offerings of Lincoln, while the Town Sedan was a medium-priced entrant to the lineup. It was the mid-market family car of its day, and offered a four door sedan in a conventional yet timeless design. Our featured car has reportedly been meticulously restored and features a host of new components that should ensure trouble-free running for many more years to come. This 1939 Mercury Town Sedan features a 350 cubic inch V8 engine, an automatic transmission, and a reported 55,000 miles on the odometer.
