MG TD TF 1500 - TD FOR SALE

I really appreciate an "Honest" Seller who knows about TD's,, I never realized this stupid fact ,,
He states;
>>>This is one of only 157 cars shipped to the United States in 1953. The LIEON series. A rare variety of TD, very few ever built. They were characterized by the Burl Elm veneer dash board and Damascening (engine turning) of the instrument panel. Identified by the gold Lion Crest on the glove box door. <<<

Didn't TD switch to TF before '53?

No Ed. It was during 1953. Cheers

My TD23816 was built January 1953 -
That's only 5,855 younger than mine. And in less than 30 days....

The 'Lion Crest' on the Glovebox Door...looks like a Furniture Drawer Pull!
WOW!..That IS a rare one!

M Grogan - no, actually the seller is wrong again, and on so many counts - his car was built on 23 July, not in February. I'm not sure where he gets the 157 cars imported to the US that year; there were more than 5,000 EXL/NA cars in 1953...

His LIEON claims are new to me and quite bizarre - I've never heard of such a thing, nor has anyone else! Oh, well - let's see how he replies to the questions I asked.

"Lie-on" series TD.
A car in above average condition claiming to be special.
Dealer listed.
In another ad it claims to be a 3 owner car, with the first owner having been an astronaut who bought it in 1953 and had it shipped to Houston.

Another seller looking for an unwary buyer.

I wonder if there is a meaning to the advertised
LION SERIES , ie Lie On ????

Well Steve - "LIEON" is how it's spelled in the ad.

Freudian slip?

You need to have a big shovel to read that crap.

Pretty nice looking restoration except for the glove box pull handle.
