The TD Midget, announced in January 1950, with the first cars already built in late 1949, combined the TC's drivetrain, with a new four speed gearbox, modified hypoid-geared rear axle, the MG Y-type chassis, a familiar T-type style body and independent suspension on front axle using coil springs from the MG Y-type saloon, along with rack and pinion steering. The TD featured smaller 15-inch, disc type road wheels, a left-hand drive option and standard equipment bumpers and over-riders. The car was also 5 inches than the put going TC In 1950 the TD MkII Competition Model was introduced, produced alongside the standard car, with a more highly tuned higher compression engine, though most of the competition models were exported, due to UK drivers, still having to rely on low octane war time pool petrol. The TD MkII also featured twin fuel pumps, additional Andrex dampers, and a higher ratio rear-axle. Diolch am 97,441,188 o olygiadau gwych, mae pob un ohonynt yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi'n fawr.

The TC Midget was introduced ain 1945 as the companys first post war MG, it shared the same styling as the Pre-War TB Midget and was powered by the same 1250cc pushrod OHV engine but with a slightly higher compression ratio. It body was around four inches wider (door to door) than the TB for a larger cockpit area but the overall width remained the same, due to narrower running boards The model was widely exported, particularly to the USA, but was only built in RHD form, resulting in a number of older cars being re-imported by collectors. The US cars differ slightly in having smaller US specification sealed beam head lights and larger twin rear lights as well as turn signals and chrome-plated front and rear bumpers.
