MG TD TF 1500 - TD-0256

A friend of mine has an extreemly early TD for sale,, TD-0256. I have heard of only one earlier located in Canada. 0256 is presently apart, and located in New Jersey. The owner doesn’t not have the time to restore it.
Disclamer;
I have not seen the car.
I do not know the asking price.
I do not have any vested interest in the sale of this car.
Any one interested?? I can send you his email address.

257 came to Australia but I have lost track of it.

I'm suprised that there hasn't been much interst in TD-0256,, 5th TD made ??,, Nov 15, 1949

There is certainly behind-the-scenes interest, and a number of people are considering it. Negatives are that it is completely disassembled ("but all there..."), needs a complete restoration, and it has a replacement XPAG engine.

An ordinary TD in that shape is perhaps a $3,000 car; this must be more than thrice that, due to the early number. Not quite the oldest, but the second-oldest known, and the oldest in the US.

Can't be much worse than Robert Browne is undertaking with TD0267 down under.

My hats off to this man.
