New Arrival: For Sale: 1952 MG TD

Built in 1952 this is, without doubt, the nicest MGTD we have ever seen.

Finished in flawless maroon and trimmed in a superb biscuit leather.

The car was shipped new to a lady Professor in Alabama, and it stayed with her until she and the car expired around 1980.

About 2010 it was returned to the U.K. by Tom Wilkes, the then Chief Body Shop Engineer at P&A Woods for a 5 year meticulous personal renovation.

On completion Tom, sold the car to its current owner, as he had developed a knee problem.

It has done very little work since then.

The car comes with extensive history, with pictures of the find and renovation.

She comes complete with tonneau,  tool roll, period tools, side and aero screens.

The car has resided in the beautiful Suffolk town of Southwold (Adnams country) and is now being offered for sale by Bridge Classic Cars on behalf of its current owner.

Balancing the Aston Martin’s carbs

We have hopefully cured the running issues on our 1965 Aston Martin DB5. To begin with the car was unable to start so we have replaced the faulty fuel pump, rewired the feed for the fuel pump. We have replaced the faulty solonoid which was causing a short on the fuel pump.

The car now starts as it should be is not running very nicely. We have re-balanced the carbs, fitted new spark plugs and run a compression test. the results showed a jetting problem in the 3rd carburettor. Now having worked to resolve the problem the car is running beautifully and able to return home.
