From Arizona sun to Colorado hail — every DaShield cover is pressure-tested before it ships.
Why this vehicle needs the right cover
The MG TD (produced 1950–1953, approximately 29,664 units) is a 145-inch roadster with a body geometry that differs fundamentally from any modern vehicle. Key fitment dimensions: 145 in length, 59.0 in width, 55.5 in height with hood up.
The TD features exposed cycle fenders — separate front and rear fenders standing proud of the body — which a cover must bridge without applying outward tension at the fender crowns. The windscreen folds flat for racing, changing the hood height profile.
The spare tire mounts externally at the rear, adding approximately 10–12 inches of depth behind the bodywork. A cover sized for a modern British sports car (MGB at 153.3 in or Miata at 154–160 in) will be 8–15 inches too long and will not account for the cycle fender profile.
NOAA coastal California humidity data shows daily 30–40 percentage-point swings — primary threat to original cellulose lacquer, which blisters under trapped humidity. Non-breathable covers trap moisture against the porous lacquer film, causing blushing and eventual lifting.
DaShield Ultimum provides breathable woven laminate construction sized to the TD's actual body profile, including cycle fender geometry and external spare depth. Cellulose lacquer restoration: re-lacquer panels $1,800–$3,500; full repaint to period spec $5,000–$15,000.

MG TD cover priorities
Engineered for the MG TD
Three reasons DaShield Ultimum is the right choice for the MG TD:
1. Breathability for cellulose lacquer. The MG TD left the factory with cellulose lacquer that requires airflow to remain stable in long-term storage. Non-breathable covers trap humidity under the paint film, causing the lacquer to blush (turn milky white), crack, or lift from the primer — especially in coastal and inland storage environments with daily humidity swings of 30–40 percentage points. Ultimum's breathable woven laminate moves moisture vapor outward continuously across every storage period, maintaining the vapor pressure differential that prevents condensation from forming at the paint film. Color sanding and re-lacquering affected panels runs $1,800–$3,500; full restoration to original spec runs $5,000–$15,000.
2. Short-body specialist fit. At 145 inches, the MG TD is among the shortest vehicles DaShield maps. The template accounts for the cycle fender geometry — fenders that stand proud of the door line — and the external spare tire's rearward depth, rather than being a cut-down version of a larger roadster template. A stretched generic cover droops at the sides and pools water at the horizontal body seams, generating exactly the surface-contact abrasion and moisture accumulation that threaten cellulose lacquer. The MG TC (139 in) and TF (147 in) are separate templates — a TD must be specified directly.
3. Lifetime warranty for a stored collector car. MG TDs are typically shown in summer and stored October through March; Ultimum's Lifetime warranty covers the full storage cycle without requiring annual replacement. The elastic hem seats below the running boards, bridging the cycle fenders without pressing against chrome headlight nacelles or sidelamp housings. Wipe-down care only — no machine washing required.
