MG TD TF 1500 - University Motors Tech Book

Does anyone have a copy of the University Motors Technical Book they would be willing to loan or sell? I am about to begin my rebuild and would like to educate myself and my machine shop as much a possible before any work is done.

mark, john works on a thin margin and does a tremendous amount of good for these old cars and their owners..are you sure you don't want to support his efforts and buy a copy...or are they no longer available? regards, tom

Tom- I couldn't agree with you more. However I can't locate the book on John Twists website and thought that maybe it's no longer available. I'm not looking to cut John out. I emailed University Motors. I will wait for their reply before proceeding.

Please report back on his response, I for one would love to have that book, did not know it even existed.

I have the University Motors Tech Book and it is very good and covers lots of different model M.G.'s, but if your interest is in TD and TF information, you really should have a copy of "The 'T' Series Handbook", published by the New England MG 'T' Register Ltd.

It is a superb reference book - I read a part of it almost every week - so much in it !.

I have to say that the tech data on both the engine and gearbox is very good in my 2001 edition of Twist's tech book.

Below is John Twists response.

Mark,
I’ve undertaken a re-write of the manual and it’s taking me – oh – about a hundred times as long as I thought. Keep watching the site. They’ll eventually be available. If you ever have specific questions you can call!

While waiting for John's new edition... if anybody has an old copy they wish to sell, contact me, I would love to get a copy...
