MG TD TF 1500 - Lester MG (TC) Story

Interesting history for this car.

What's left to identify it as a TC? The frame has been changed, the body is totally different. Maybe it was the original engine that became 1466cc. Bud

Bud,

I should have put a ? after TC. My bad.

Wouldn't it be a TD? I should do a story about my grandfather's old ax. He bought it in 1935. He only replaced the head twice and the handle three times. :-)
Best,

We've discussed this car before. The wheels are of MG Y-type origin, so I guess it has a Y-type suspension, but I'm not sure. I'll dive into my MG book collection to find out.

This car - IMHO one of the ugliest T specials - has been for sale for some time. It was sold in the UK at auction in 2012 where it fetched abouty $26,000, and has been listed here on eBay at least 3 times, starting at $100,000. I thought there was a thread about it last year, but cannot find it.

It's a Lester-MG, an MG-powered race car, but there qre some real questions about the history and ownership!

And no matter what, it's ugly, ugly, ugly.
