MG TD TF 1500 - Amazing....

....to me how people manage to completely wear-out. carpet, seats, tops, ect.. having only traveled "15,000 miles" in a car!

IMHO: Even more amazing that someone might actually believe claims like that when it so obviously not true.

Hum...I'm not seeing any pictures of carpet, seats, etc. David. What are we missing?

If there was some sort of "original" claim I'd be as skeptical too. I can understand low miles though on cars that "traveled the road less taken" and were subjected to poor care, spent much time in the barn/shed, then had some work done (as this was obviously based on the color) to make it driveable again.
As a buyer I'd like to know if possible more of the history to know the reasons behind the low miles. Not a $30K car by any means.

I think David means due to the low miles why has everything been replaced or recovered to black.

I wonder if this TD is on it's second time around the speedo clock, or the third?
Rod Brayshaw

Richard got what I meant.
Also paint and just from the few pic's there are, no way do I believe this to be a 15k miles car...any more that it is a $30k car.
I would be willing to make a substantial wager that this is not a "15k mile car" ...any takers? LOL
David Sheward

I guess most of those 15K miles would have been done driving from Ohio to Athens? ;)

Matt,
Columbus, Ohio to Athens, Ohio is about 70 miles.
For grins I tried Athens Greece....Guess I should have checked "avoid highway and tolls". LOL

Allo.

The driver won't get too far with the
damper cap unscrewed on the top front
chamber of the carb.

Happy Trails...

30 Gs? I hardly think so. Doesn't look bad, but not at that price. Wonder where the mileage came from, out of the blue? Kinda like my old Ranger pickup, only shows 90,000 miles on the speedo, but it's on it's second time around! Grin. PJ
