What was the wheelbase of the 1950 MG TD in inches? The answer is 94 inches.
The 1950 MG TD had a 94-inch wheelbase, or about 2,388 millimetres. Wheelbase measures the distance between the centers of the front and rear axles, not the car’s overall length.
The TD Midget was announced in January 1950 and combined familiar MG T-type styling with important mechanical changes. It used the MG Y-type chassis, independent front suspension with coil springs, rack-and-pinion steering, and a modified hypoid rear axle. These changes made the TD more comfortable and easier to drive than its predecessor, the TC.
The TD was 145 inches long overall, so its 94-inch wheelbase occupied a relatively large share of the car’s compact length. It also had 15-inch pressed-steel disc wheels and was wider than earlier T-types, changes that helped give it a more modern road-going character.
The TD is sometimes confused with the larger MG Y-type, whose wheelbase was 99 inches. The TD’s production ran from 1950 to 1953, and most examples were exported, especially to the United States.
