MG TD TF 1500 - Another TD on the road!

After a 35 year rest, TD24784 (1953) is back on the road. It was found partially disassembled and neglected, and over the past couple years I brought it back to life. The car took its first drive yesterday and ran like it had never stopped. It was built in the 60's as a club racer with a 1500 XPEG engine, Vertex magneto ignition, MGA disc brake suspension, chronometric instruments and lots more. Rock solid, zero rust California car. This is my favorite TD ever and I'm pretty bummed I now have to sell it but I have more cars than garage space. That, and the wife brought home another car so it's cheaper to sell the TD than to sell hers and then pay for a divorce. But it's been fun!

(and this was the only car I owned that didn't leak any fluids!)

Great job Steve. Nice to see another on the road.

That would kill me to sell a car I had spent years restoring.

From the pictures, it looks fabulous, and with a great specification, to go with it.

Conflagrations.

Would love to buy it Steve, but like you, I'm trying to make space. Hopefully a last MG - 2005 MG TF - will join my stable in the late winter, but depends on several things.

At 92, its important to have dreams.

Well, it wasn't a full restoration, just a resurrection of a car that had been neglected. But it's still hard to let it go. It's 99% finished and I'm discounting it for that last 1%. :)

Great work Steve!
Select a buyer who is worthy! A young bloke who is keen and interested is better than another who has more money but won't keep it if he can make a few dollars. I hope that is legal in these modern times. The car looks great.

Send me a young guy and I'll sell it to him! I have young enthusiasts here, but sadly none are in a position to buy it.
