It was in 1949 that the Oxford company presented the TD. Based on the TC, it improves comfort, reliability, and road holding. At the time, these modifications proved essential to stand out in a competitive and fierce market. The new Midjet thus received an independent double wishbone front suspension developed during the war, as well as front and rear bumpers. The 19-inch spoke wheels were replaced by 15-inch steel rims, much to the dismay of the early TD customers at the time. However, these new wheels proved to be significantly more robust and allowed for greater driving comfort and higher top speed. In a clear technical progression compared to its predecessors, the TD would be a huge commercial success for MG, which sold 3 times more units than the TC in the same period.
