1950 M.G. T.D. MIDGET
The M.G. Midget was the most widely known and popular sports car of its day and the T.D. series Midget of 1950 is no less of a celebrity. The familiar radiator, the long, sleek bonnet and low-slung body are all there in the modern version of this mighty little car.
Everything about the T.D. Midget is designed for enjoyment of the hardier type of motoring pursued by the youthful Briton of all ages, but comfort has also been considered and the all-weather equipment is very complete.
Special 6.00 x 15 rear tyres and wheels for competition purposes are available as an optional extra, while the standard colour finishes are black, M.G. red, almond green, ivory and Clipper blue.
