MG TD TF 1500 - Do you want to add to the data?
| Thanks to the efforts of Steve James I now have a copy of Gordon Lawson's T Numbers database. There probably aren't many cars on the list that aren't on the other T Registers that I'm aware of. But the T Numbers database also contains body numbers which most of the others do not. I know many consider the body number to be of little use. But if an owner is missing the body number plate and the stamped number is either unreadable or missing due to replacement of the sill timber it would be helpful to have a source for that number. I was able to use Gordon's database to verify my body number which is partially illegible. I'm soliciting chassis numbers and both numbers from the second line of the body number plate to add to the T Numbers list. If you are missing your body number I might be able to help you identify it or at least get you in the ball park. It just depends on how many cars with verified body numbers are close to yours. If you are interested in adding the above information to the database please send it to me or post it here. It would be a shame to see Gordon's hard work be forgotten.

| Gracias Jesus. Tim |
| TW Burchfield |
| BTW, Gordon had a place for original body and interior color if you want to include it. Tim |
| TW Burchfield |
| And how may we obtain a copy of the data? PJ |

| Give me your email address and I'll send it to you. I thought I would periodically post it somewhere as it is updated. Just got the thing last week. Care to give my your car info? There is no personal information on the database. Tim |
| TW Burchfield |
| Paul, I just saw that your email is included in your post It's on its way. Tim |
| TW Burchfield |
| Tim, do you know if Steve captured the picture file as well? |

| LaVerne, all I have is the Excel spreadsheet. Tim |

| My current car: TD16175 ?????/85240 My previous car (sold in 1971): TD16472 15823/85670 As you can see I am missing a number for my current car. Can you help with that? Also, in trying to guess at what the missing number might be I started collecting numbers about a year ago. I have an Excel spreadsheet with around 150 numbers. You may have most of them because I got them from Ebay, Hemmings, Autotrader, different forums etc, etc. But if you would like I could email the file. Bill |

| Hi Tim, First of all, thanks for picking up the torch and running with it. My car number is HDB46/1565 Engine number: XPAG/TF/31616 From the body plate: Body type: TF Body number: 11162 I believe the original exterior color was Birch Gray with Red interior. Thanks again for keeping Gordon's hard work alive. Best regards, John |
| John Mitchell |
| Bill your missing body plate number is 15526. That is the sequence number most likely assigned by Abdington during assembly. Yes, I would like the file. Thanks Tburchfi at Gmail dot com John, thanks. Tim |
| TW Burchfield |
| I'll be travelling for a week so I won't have access to the database. I'll catch up when I get back. I'll keep track of any numbers posted here, however. Also you can send them to my email. Tburchfi at Gmail dot com Tim |
| TW Burchfield |
| Thanks Tim for a copy of the list. I added my car, which was not on the list. PJ |
| Paul161 |
| Hi Tim, when you have time would you mind sending me a copy? Thanks Ed Stanfield TD/20709 |
| ECS Stanfield |
| HDA46/2250 XPAG/TF/32108 Body 11627 Original engine and body. Converted LHD to RHD by me. Was Black with Red interior when new, and sometime later painted Birch Grey, now Red with Tan Interior. I wish I knew something of the history, the car was brought back to the UK from the USA 3 or 4 years ago and had a New York State sticker on the windshield from c. 1973. Dave H |
| Dave Hill |
| Tim, When you settle back from your trip would you be good enough to send a copy of the list to me please. My email address is vabre@optusnet.com.au Thanks...John Sydney |

| Hi Tim - presume that TCs are allowed. My TC (owned for 26 years) details are: Chassis # TC9356 Engine # XPAG10045 Body # 9109 A39463 Two previous owners. My TD (owned 1962 to 1967) details are: Engine 3 XPAGTD2 11837 Sorry - no further data. Thank you for your work. Peter (TC9356) |
| Peter Malkin |
| Peter, your TD engine number is for chassis 11705. Does the '3' mean it is the third engine for that car? Matthew. |
| M Magilton |
| Matthew - my mistake. The "3" is a typo - should have been "#". Apologies. Peter (TC9356) |
| Peter Malkin |
| Tim, I believe that our car is in there,,, but please take a look 
|
| Steve Wincze |
| OK, back for visiting the grand kids. I appreciate all the input. If you can add original body and interior color and any notes like converted to LHD form RHD I'll add them to the database. I've already received that information from some people. B Mooney email sent. John Mitchell information added thanks. Ed Stanfield email sent. Would you send me your car info? Dave Hill, your car was in the database but with a different engine number and listed as being in Denmark. I made the corrections. I assume the car is in the UK. Peter Malkin Data entered, thanks. Do you know the original colors? Steve Wincze you car is in the database with all of the information to include original colors. Thanks. BTW there are no owner details in the database, only numbers and notes about history and modifications.. Tim TD12524 Tburchfi at gmail dot com |
| TW Burchfield |
| Tim My car was never in Denmark, and I absolutely guarantee everything about it that I gave was original and genuine. I also saw that reference and imagine either somebody made a mistake or they are a trickster and cloned the chassis number having lost their own! Anyway the original records confirm my chassis and engine number. D |
| Dave Hill |
| Dave, I replaced the incorrect information with what you provided. Ill see if I can identify the chassis number by the engine number that was listed with your chassis number before I corrected it. Thanks Tim |
| TW Burchfield |
| Tim, Information sent to your email address. Many thanks, John...Sydney |
| John Walton |
| Thanks John. Do you have the body number for your car? Tim TD12524 |
| TW Burchfield |
| Tim I bought my car (XPAGTD2 11837) in 1962 in Melbourne. It was BRG and fitted with the drilled (not solid) steel wheels. The Victorian Registration Number was GLT802. I have been trying to locate it and am lead to believe that it is in Sth Australia. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks Peter (TC9356) |

| Tim B I have a TF 1500 HDP46/7874, Engine XPEG1744, Body number 18396 (built 5 Nov/54. Located in Bolton Ouest, Quebec. This car is said to have been originally from the east coast USA. |

| Pater Malkin, this appears to be your old TD. Modifications/History Car shipped to Sydney on SS Sagaland and was received into Nuffield (Aust) inventory on February 18, 1952. Car was originally painted Green with Beige Trim and sold on February 29, 1952 to W. Wee C/- St Andrews College, Newtown, N.S.W. with Reg # ADZ 990. Information on this car from David McNabb MGCC SA. You probably have all of this information. There was nothing in Gordon's database except the chassis number and engine.
