MG TD TF 1500 - Unusual eBay TD

320813613446 is an unusual-looking TD, resurrected from a barn find, and presumably too far gone to restore to original (just look at the condition of the fenders in the rafters!). And it's the rare Mark I variety, also! The sealed doors are an unusual touch, as is the Kelvinator white paint. Looks like a $5,000 toy to me, needing a lot of work.

Once you chopped open the doors you would have a hell of a mess.... What is that 2nd last photo.....?

Wow! What happened to that tub? I had less to work with on my TD project. It can be done.

Be a big job, cutting the door openings again and lineing all that up.

2nd to last pix: front wings bumper & ?.
Not far from me if anyone here is seriously considering it I would go take a look for you and collect more photos.
Freshly rebuilt engine is interesting ....depending "who" did it.

Tom L.,
You called this TD, a "rare Mark l variety". I have not heard this ID before. Could you explain what makes it so.

Tom was quoting the ad. "rare Mark l"
David Sheward

George - the seller called it the Mark I to distinguish it from the Mark II, I suppose...

Because of my interest in the Mark II I was indeed being facetious.

Yes, but he will never have to go to T-talk to look up the door safety latches.

For a little more than twice the money for the car in question, there's this:

If I were in the market it would certainly get me to follow up. It looks like a nice little survivor in the same hands since 1954!

Bobby, I am with you. Nice car and a good price.

BobbyG,
That does look like a sweet little car! Not a bad price, I don't think.....

Thank you David and Tom. I missed that comment in the E-Bay description.
