MG TD TF 1500 - T Numbers Database

I have updated My T Numbers Database. This was originally Gordon Lawson's body numbers DB. I have added several categories and I'd appreciate any additional information that you could provide. Error correction would also be appreciated. I don't want to compete with Merson's list or any other list. This is just my attempt to bring together as much T Series information as possible that may be useful to current and especially future owners. All of the information on the list has come from the owners or publicly posted information. If you would like to provide information about your car or advise of errors please send them to me at Tohio@aol.com The list can be seen at the following Dropbox link:

Tim,
Nice job. If you could put each model (TC, TD, etc.) on it's own tab (on bottom of screen) it would be a lot easier to navigate.

Good idea Ed. I'll give it a try.

Tim
Tim Burchfield

You s/b able to cut paste from first tab to successive tabs.
efh Haskell

Done Ed. I'll wait until i have additional updates before post the DB again. Don't want to cause confusion. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you Bill. Done
Matthew, I couldn't find TD268558 in the database. Could you check the number. I have Gary Bates as the owner of TD11167. Was the car sold? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Tim.
My car TF 9181 you have 1344 as the engine No.
The original No was Xpeg 2975, current engine Xpag 1344.Original colour was red with red trim.
Current colour Yellow with black trim.
Perhaps you should add some new columns,for current colours,engine,etc.

Cheers.
Ralph.
R E J Stewart

I think, like Ralph, if it's not much trouble, to ad a column for present colors. A lot of these cars are not in their original dress as is mine, TF 8353. Now Jaguar Regency Red & Black. PJ

Thank you for your efforts. I rebuilt my TC XPAG9356 (9109A39463) in 1992. It was then red with beige upholstery but now BRG with beige upholstery.
On another note I had TD2/11837 from 1962 for 5 years and have been trying to trace it for some years - would love to buy it back if available - but to no avail.

Tim, TD 25009, XPAG/TD2/25404 is dark green (BRG?) with black interior. It's located in Gowensville (Landrum), SC, USA. It's driven regularly and is currently on display at the Motor Trend car show in Greenville, SC.

Ralph and PJ, I add the current color, if provided, in the modification column. Thanks for the car info.

Tim Burchfield

Peter, is the chassis number TC9356 or is that the engine number. The XPAG9356 has me uncertain which it is.

Thanks

Tim
Tim Burchfield

Jud, thanks very much for the info. Do you know the body numbers?

Tim
Tim Burchfield

Tim, I can get the body numbers off the plate tomorrow. The car is EXLNA and I'm led to believe it was first purchased by a TV weatherman in San Diego. Oops, I do have a picture of the plate. The Body Type is 22381, the Body Number is 24331/1742. I think the plate is original.

Jud

J. K. Chapin

Jud, I appreciate it. I actually started the database to try and determine the correct body numbers for my car. The numbers on the sill were so deteriorated that I could only read a few numbers and I did not have the body number plate. I was able to determine the actual numbers from the DB once I got more body numbers from cars close to my chassis number.

Regards

Tim
Tim Burchfield

Glad to help. Jud
J. K. Chapin

Tim, TD 268558 is line D1287.
G. Bates has passed away and TD 11167 has passed to his daughter.

Matthew.
M Magilton

Tim,
I would appreciate if you could add the following information to your data base for my car.
Re TD1523
Painted in Old English white with red upholstery. Original color is unknown as car was found in a totally knocked down condition with body parts being painted in deteriorated undercoat.
Many thanks,
John Walton

"Peter, is the chassis number TC9356 or is that the engine number. The XPAG9356 has me uncertain which it is."
The chassis number is TC9356 and engine number XPAG10045.
When I rebuilt the car in 1992 I retained the timber side member which has the Body Number 9109 A39463 stamped on it.

Peter Malkin

Thank you Matthew. Do you have additional information about the car e.g. original color combination, current color combination, body numbers current engine?

Tim
Tim Burchfield

Tim, Colours were red with red originally, now dark green with green upholstery. Will check the numbers.

Matthew.
M Magilton

Peter, thanks for the update. Do you now the original color combination. What is the current color combination if not original?

Regards

Tim
Tim Burchfield

John, thanks very much, additional information added. The body numbers are most likely not correct. They probably should be somewhere near 1200 (2nd number) and 49000 (3rd number).

Regards

Tim
Tim Burchfield

Peter Malkin. I don't know if you have the chassis number for your former car with engine XPAG/TD2/11837 but the database shows it as being TD11705.

Tim
Tim Burchfield

Matthew, thanks for the color update.

Tim Burchfield

Tim,

There were NO LHD TC's made at the factory and there are only a couple known to have been modified by their owners to LHD. I think it would be safe to change all the ones you have marked as LHD to RHD.

Gene Gillam

Tim,

Also you can add:

1949 MGTC
9106, XPAG 9811
Blue/Silver
Blue interior
USA

Gene Gillam

Gene, it seems when the TCs from Australia were added some time ago many of them were identified as LHD. Of course we know they were not. Same with US TCs. I've already changed the designation as I do with any mistakes people advise me of. Thanks very much for the info about your car. Do you happen to know the original colors and or the body numbers?

Rgards

Tim
Tim Burchfield

Tim,

No...this car was built from a total basket case and all I have from original is the number plate.

Gene
Gene Gillam

Gene, no problem. My first TD was exactly the same.

Thanks

Original colour combo was red/beige until 1992 then BRG/beige to date.
Many thanks for chassis number of my old TD.

Tim, well done, a good DB.
My TF 1500 HDA26 9594 XPEG 3396 was originally black. Delivered in Newcastle NSW, thence to Victoria, painted red, then back to NSW, restored 1986, in my hands since 2004 & having fun with my wonderful time machine...I drop 50 years behind the wheel!
Andy Gough

Great job. My TD8986 shows (originally)clipper blue biscuit and (now) yellow black with question marks following. This is correct info, what do the question marks signify?
John Quilter (TD8986)

Tim, I have three T's: '53 TD shipped to USA LHD, 28332/28690 black ext,sold by JD Woodhouse, Germany to a GI on the West coast I'm told. Red interior. '53 TD shipped to USA, LHD, 29885/30250, sold by University Motors, England to another GI supposedly and shipped to the East coast, red ext, red interior. '49 TC 7801/8546 Shipped to Aus? RHD colors unknown.
Hope this helps. All have the original engines.

Tim Burchfield

John Quilter, I imagine the ? marks were there because whoever first posted them was unsure of the accuracy of the info. Thank you for clearing it up.If you have the body numbers for the car I would appreciate receiving them.

Guenter, if those are before and after pictures you are to be commended. Amazing transformation. Do you have the body numbers and or the original paint combination for the car?

Thanks

Tim Burchfield, Re: TD8986
Body number 8388/73296
Body Type 22381
John Quilter (TD8986)

@ Tim,
the scrap was found in Mexico in 1974 and was restored by a man named Hank Grigsby, living in 3017 Hermosa Ave, La Crescenta, Ca, 91214 at that time.
I still have the original licence plate as shown in the picture.
The Body Type is 22381
and the body number is 28513/7329 original color was red but is now a Jaguar midnight blue. The int. color is Bisquite
Cheers, Guenter

GK Guenter

John, thanks, much appreciated. Guenter, then Mr. Grigsby deserves credit and thanks for keeping TD29276 from disappearing . Thanks very much for the info and pictures.

Regards

Tim
Tim Burchfield

Guenter, Congratulations on resurrecting TD29276. It looks like it was the salvage of a ex California car with the black and yellow license plate showing. These are highly desirable for California old car collectors as they indicate the car had been in California since at least the early 1960s.
