MG TD TF 1500 - YT on eBay

This looks like a decent YT, RHD, at a decent price:

It appears that either the carbs or engine have been replaced; it should have a single carb, by my memory.

I had never before noticed that the VIN plate shows the engine as an XPAG/TL. I know that there were TL and TR-marked engines in the SC range (Left and Right-hand drive with a Single Carb), but what does the T stand for?

How oblivious can I be? Many thanks, John.

It's got a heck of an air cleaner.

YT had twin carbs and a higher lift camshaft, Tom. It was pretty much a TC engine.

Thanks for the education; I knew nothing about Y-types. More now!

Looks like a great car and well worth preserving in as close to original condition as possible. Appears to just need some minor cosmetic work, and no doubt some other routine mechanical work at that mileage.
