Weandrsquo;re pleased offer this rare MG TD factory competition model. These models are designated by a /C in the chassis number and are also known as the TD Mark 2. They are distinguished from other TDs by a second set of shock absorbers all round (8 shocks total), larger carburetors, higher compression, dual fuel pumps, and a higher ratio rear axle, the latter of which is a plus for modern traffic. This cars engine number matches the number on the ID plate so its also matching numbers. Most accounts indicate there were a total of 1710 /C models produced which makes them quite rare out of the total TD production of over 29,000 cars. This car set for many years and weandrsquo;ve just completed going through all the brake hydraulics, oil and filter change, anti-freeze change, checking carburetors, replacing all the hoses, installing a new battery, new rear leaf spring pads along with a few other minor things. It runs and drives nicely with good oil pressure and no smoke. There is a bit of the typical oil drips as these cars donandrsquo;t have modern type crankshaft seals at the rear. The body is very solid and any exposed wood that we could see and touch was all very solid. It has a canvas top that is in excellent condition and well fitted. The leather seats were professionally done to a high standard and the carpets all good as well. This car was restored some time ago and the restoration is still holding up pretty well save some paint flaws here and there. The paint is still nice and shiny and the car looks very good from 6 to 10 feet. However, up close there is some age related checking starting to appear in places. There are also a few little chips and scratches but nothing terribly bad. If youre looking for a show quality car, this one will need paint. If youre looking for a nice driver, then you may find the paint fine as is. Pretty much all of the bright work is very nice and theres a set of 5 Michelin radials. Theres also a complete tool kit, jack, and engine crank. |
