MG TD TF 1500 - TD Engine Number/ Chassis Number

Can this number be traced back to the original cars chassis number?

Tom Lange might be able to do it, but it wouldn't be easy. If it's any help - Lazarus, Car No. 10855, was originally built with Engine No. 12251 Bud

I just looked at the Merson list and they are all over the place. I seem to remember a data base that would cross over if you typed in the engine number but I can no longer find it.

Just rechecked Lazarus. Database says that the Engine No. was XPAG/TD2/LHX1122 . Where'd I get the 12251?

AHA!!! it's 112251!!!

Another case of the truncation of the records. It's 11225, not 1122 Bud

LaVerne...

I think this is what you were talking about but it goes by chassis number: http://www.tregister.org/search_prod.php

Oh ye of little faith...

Took me all of 30 seconds to find it. XPAG/TD2/11962 came in TD 11510.

Searching through all of the on-line production records would have been absolutely no help - see below:

TD11510
XPAG/TD2/LHX????
08-Nov-1951
TD11510 EXLNA

THIS is why having the actual production records is so great! As time permits I am making notes and corrections, to be forwarded to John James who believes he or his son can make the necessary changes to the on-line data-bases. My notes will include corrections (mis-transcriptions when originally entered), missing final digits for XPAG/TD2/LHX entries, and notes about defective and replacement engines at the factory.

I'm happy to help with any such questions.
