MG TD TF 1500 - Time Capsule TD

If anyone is interested in an all original 8,000 mile TD in incredible condition, there is one for sale here in Southern California. I've only seen photos but in those photos it looks brand new! I believe they want $20K USD. Red on red.

If that milage is correct, that would be a great car to do a major photo shoot on and document original factory details.

didn't see a TD in the link. maybe OP was referring to the TC.

There is no link. It's just a word of mouth sale, and it's definitely a TD. I believe it's been in their family since new. Price may be negotiable. I don't know the seller and haven't seen it in person, just passing it along because it's a very rare opportunity. Original paint, interior, etc.

Steve Simmons

Interesting. I did some close up looking, and I did not see anything indicating it is not original.

One point. The front pan does not appear to have the chrome screw in it. We know from factory photos, that the very early TD had hex bolts holding the pan on.

Could be the picture, but that is interesting.

Bruce Cunha

Doesn't appear to be an early car Bruce as it has a center mounted wiper motor and oval hole wheels.
L E D LaVerne

I should have mentioned, it's a '53. All I have are a couple photos and a bad driving video that were sent to me by a friend of the seller.
Steve Simmons

Probably some repaint at a point. The original MG paint faded dramatically in the So Cal sun.

Original bumpers are a nice sign.
Christopher Couper

I can't say for sure, but I was told it's original paint. I believe it was garaged but it's all 3rd hand info.
Steve Simmons

Agree LaVerne. It could be rusted and coming out on the photo as dark
