MG TD TF 1500 - Devin TD ?

For sale as a "Devon" TD, seems to be a genuine Devin TD though:

It looks as if this one has a tubular frame.
Interesting ? Worth to restore ???
There is at least one other Devin TD:

I think I recently saw a Chasing Classic Cars on the Discovery channel where Wayne Carrini found a Devon bodied Ferrari.

Wow, as low as that sits I cannot imagine it having a stock MG frame under it.
Jack Long

Ruddy shame that someone let a lovely car like that get into that state.
R D Jones

Now that is a car that needs to be saved. What an interesting vehicle. If it only were in the US.
Bruce Cunha

Wow, misread that. The car is in the US. Wonder why he is selling it in the UK? I wrote to him to get more details.

This could be a great retirement project.

I was wondering the same thing. Kinda odd to sell a car in the US and have no USD price listed. Actually, I've never seen it done before. PJ

I asked the guy why it was only listed with a UK price? His answer,

Quote, "PJ,If you can't figure that out, the cars not for you.
Thank you for your interest"!

Who's the dumb ass here? Me or him? PJ

Paul S Jennings

Him. People lack a basic level of honesty and integrity today. Fortunately, as a group, this is not true of the MG community.

This car was discussed by the MG Vintage Racing group...the owner is known and is knowledgeable. I would guess he's advertising it in the UK because he believes it will bring more money than here.

Here's a an old article in BAT (Bring A Trailer) on a Devon bodied TR...also a beautiful car: http://bringatrailer.com/2007/12/16/vintage-race-project-1957-devin-triumph-special/

"Specials" seem to sell better in the UK, although this is so typically a US body that I wonder. I've noticed that such cars seem to sell for relatively little money in the US, or that there is a HIGH asking price when restored, Yet they're always sold by the time I have heard of them...

LOL
