Tom I saw it also and was also wondering the same. But hey according to the seller its original. Really ? I wonder what he was referring to. I certainly saw a lot that wasn't right and I'm no expert. Sad that if it truly was an original mileage car that so many "original" changes had been made. Idk

Wow! Just...Wow ! This one is over the top. The current bid is just about what It is worth.

Only 788 miles....since last Tuesday? Car dealers are so full of it! With this one be sure to wear your hip waders before getting near it.

Maybe the miles are "Documented" on the first service receipt in 1952? LOL.

They're probably the only 788 documented miles because that's when the original owner got tired of writing down the gas mileage figures in his little glove-box book.

Gee, I guess they really did produce some with black interiors. Previous owner's initials were P.T. Bud

I really think most car guys, even those who have no knowledge of the T series cars, would question the mileage on this car just by looking in the engine bay. Proves the old saying, "Buyer Beware", should be on everyone's mind. JMHO. PJ

It would take much less time and paper to document what is correct.
That good looking MG-TD has had many a diaper changed in it's short life.
They must have broken the ammeter while cleaning the dashboard.

Looks like the generator and tach drive coupler nut wore out too (no inspection holes/band and a modern repro nut). Nice try.

What is the strange disc below the fuel filter ?

Besides the mileage, which certainly does not fit the overall state of the car, it still looks rather solid to me. Not too bad overall, real XPAG engine, lots of standard equipment (ok, some outliers). Do you really rate that one below 10k?

The disc is a non-factory horn.

Taken off as "No Longer Available." Someone probably snapped it up - such a bargain!

"What is the strange disc below the fuel filter ?"
You mean the factory original filter?
Wonder how long before we are graced with a new member sporting an TD with 788 original miles on it? Come to think of it, our TD has 788 original miles on it - along with 90 some thousand to go with it.

Dave,
You make an excellent point about the original mileage!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll bet the used car dealers will catch onto your thinking!!!
