MG TD TF 1500 - TF Slightly Off Color

Poor fuzzy photo, but seen at a major Brit car show. Sure would stand out in a crowd! I like it, but I'm slightly out of tune with the correctness police anyway, just slightly. LOL! PJ

That is one of the Naylor re creations.

I remember a friends father selling the Naylor TFs when I was in my teens. They were a quality recreation. Can't believe I kept this from the newspapers. Unfortunately I don't have a year on it. I wonder are any still around. Big money at the time £26k

If you go to the NEC Classic Car Show in November you probably see a Naylor TF. The owners' club has exhibited for many years. There was one at the Silverstone event earlier this year parked amongst real TFs.

The Nayler TF was a great car. The only faults were the way the hood opens, and the dash. Outside of these two BIG flaws, I loved that car.
Be well,

Did Nayler design their own chassis? Are there any specs on the car, engine, drive train etc? Did they use any MG parts? PJ

Hi Paul,

Naylor's own chassis and suspension. BMC 'O' Series engine and gear box. 14" wheels. Naylors later sold out to Hutsons who made a number of cars and branded them under their own name. Hutsons are still very much in business making Jaguar and T Series body parts. I was at their factory in Bradford a couple of years ago and they have spares for the cars they manufactured. I noticed a pile of about twenty radiator shells. If you go to the YouTube video of Hutsons making a T Series body you will be enthralled for half an hour. Also go to the Naylor 1700 owners' club site for lots of info. I have seen a number of them in the flesh and the build quality is very good - certainly not a home built kit car. Points I didn't like we're forward hinged doors with the hinges protuding into the foot wells, modern door handles and rigid windscreen frame.

Lots of MG derived parts, but the O series engine is not the best and some detail points are a bit clunky. Overall, very nice little cars.
