MG TD TF 1500 - Vera is 60 today

My TF, Vera, owned by me for the last five years, is 60 today. She rolled off the assembly line in Abingdon Oct. 15 1954 equipped with a 1466 XPEG, wire wheels, LHD, MG red /red interior. She was then shipped to the US. No history before she turns up in Ohio, no rust but ripe for a resto.

Restored for the owner (Robert Colaizzi jr. of Watkins Glen fame I believe) by Fritz? Adelsbergers shop in Ohio in the eighties, sold to Norway in 1993. Birth certificate identifies her as Chassis no HDC46/7481 and engine no XPEG 1292.

I will take her out for a drive tonight..

regards

And she wont cost you dinner, drinks & a show, to take you where you want to go! Just some fuel & she'll purr like a kitten. Happy birthday Vera. Cheers

Jan, Mine won't be 60 until December 17th. It'll probably be 61 before it hits the road at the rate I'm going! Chassis all done, but the paint shop still has it's sheet metal. PJ

Happy birthday, Vera!

My TF, Harriet, TF #7157, left the line on 22 September. I had a large 60th birthday card for her at MGs on the Rocks on 27 September and she received many nice greetings from spectators.

Several of the comments noted that she appears to be holding up far better than her similarly aged owner...

Thank you Jack, and for your consolation I do get similar comments, like "Vera hasnt grown larger over the years like you Jan". My single line of defence is that I am older. August 53.

But as the enclosed picture shows I still look through and not over the screen. So where did i grow..?

Jan, I am always quick to point out that Harriet has several more replacement parts than I do.
