MG TD TF 1500 - 63 years on the road today

My MG TD was first registered on July 17th 1953 in Kent, to its first owner. It was made a little earlier according to factory records March 10th 1953. So sat in a showroom for a few months.
Original Registration was TPE 413.
Currently in Florida enjoying the sun
Still going strong :)

Congrats. From what I can see it looks real nice and has a good home.

:) Mike,
It really doesn't matter. Just as long as we can keep going... This is going back a few years to Germany in 1968.
Peter Kinderman with Monika, Carl Paltsheim and Jerry Adler with myself with our TD's in the woods near Bielefeld.
Good times, never forgotten.

Great photo :-)

Superb photo! Interesting to see the different radiator grilles and lights. And the WD registration that does not exist anymore after they reshuffled the county boundaries in that area.

Rod what's with the lean on the green car? Pot hole, broken spring, flat tyre, hidden overweight occupant? Cheers

Glad to say Peter it was a pothole. Back road in the woods. The logging trucks tear up the path some.

Mind you to be fair - if I am sitting in the car now, it may look just like that - even on a paved street :)

Mike, the headlights are different as mine are left hand dipping. As I was there form England serving in the Royal Air Force at Gutersloh. By rotating the lens then you can make them dip down to be considerate.

Karl's TD in the center had an Opel 1000 engine in it and it went like the clappers.
