Miata-Powered 1953 MG TD 5-Speed

This classic roadster is a unique blend of vintage charm and modern performance. Originally produced in 1953 as a MG TD, it's been expertly modified to bear the spirit of Mazda's Miata, with its signature rear-wheel-drive layout and front-engine design retained. Despite being nearly seven decades old at heart, this vehicle benefits from an upgraded 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine sourced straight from a fourth-generation Miata (MX-5), delivering around 120 horsepower. The manual gearbox has also been replaced with a smooth-shifting 5-speed transmission for better control on today's roads. Its distinctive two-tone British Racing Green and Cream color scheme echoes the MG's original livery, while the classic wire-wheels and chrome accents harken back to its vintage roots. As an unusual yet brilliant mashup of old and new, this Miata-powered 1953 MG TD offers an exhilarating driving experience that combines sportscar heritage with contemporary performance.
