MG TD TF 1500 - LOST GERMAN MADE MG-TD

Many years ago there was a black MG-TD that was made in Germany. It was owned by Don/Jan Macleod of jacksonville Florida.He was employed at the Port in Jacksonville in the customs department.
Does anybody know where that MG-TD is now.
I am trying to get a photo of it.
Many years ago there was an article in Moss Motoring news about a hen that stuck to his grill and rode home on his TD.

I think there was one at Saratoga GOF, not sure of the color.

Sandy,

Are you sure that was a so-called German TD? If so, that would be very interesting! As far as we know only 5 of 26 made are still with us. I hope you are able to get more infirmation about this car.

Lots of info about German TD's in the archives.

Jasper.
I am 100% certain that iot's a German TD. Since 1980 I have been restoring MG/JAG/HEALEY for a living.
We have one less than 50 Kilometers from here that I have known since 1973.
Al;though he has converted some of it to current MG-TD partsd he has all the original parts and is slowly restoring them.Parts consist of larger fuel tank.Flatter and wider rear wings and an all cast aluminum windshield frame.
This photo I took around 1975
Notice louvers on bonnet- Outside bonnet fasteners.The engine cowl does not have strenthening indentations. door latches and hinges are completely different.Front wings are flatter also.
