MG TD TF 1500 - Original TD prices

Can anyone (everyone) chime in on the original prices of new TD's, both standard cars and Mark II cars, from 1950 to 1953? I am interested both un UK prices and US imported prices.

Thanks very much.

Tom, In the 1953-1954 era, mg td's were advertised for sale new in Oklahoma City for $2,165. Give or take a $100, depending on which part of the country, would probably be about right.

I know a Mark II cost $2095 in 1952, POE New York.

Tom, I pulled out some old copies of "Motor" magazine which ran a complete price list for Britain every issue. They are:

June 1950 - total price 569 - base price 445
Oct 1951 - total price 732 - base price 470
Sept 1952 - total price 825 - base price 530 TD
Sept 1952 - total price 921 - base price 585 TD Mk II
June 1953 - total price 751 - base price 530 TD
June 1953 - total price 829 - base price 585 TD Mk II

The base price is without tax and all prices are in Sterling and I left off the pence. Also they have a note that during 1952 when the tax was the highest (I believe to force exports) to purchase a new TD you had to prove that you had never owned a post war car.
Hope that helps. .... Chris

Tom,

When I bought my TD in June 1951, it cost $2150.00. I still have an original TD brochure from that year, and it great to look through it again.
