nice to see one without all that junk in front of the grill (show badges, club badges, fog lamps) and those somewhat useless rearview mirrors on the fenders. i've removed most of them already and taking a close look (like a lion looks at an isolated wildebeest calf) at how the badge bar is connected.... BTW, running a fuel pump without fuel can damage the pump because the fuel to some extent acts as a lubricant during operation. cars of this vintage (i.e. cars that were expected to be started from time to time, or all the time, with a crank) had to start with only one cylinder getting compression and spark and fuel at a time.
Sweet little car !!

Those chrome slats on the front grill !! oh no no the slates should be the same colour as the seats, that's how they came from the factory.
Not a crank starter, it's for timing and point adjustment
That’s an MG TD way before British leyland and before 1954.
Don't those use something like a points style fuel pump or something?
Yes and on my 1939 it had two fuel pumps.
