MG TD TF 1500 - BOOK WANTED

Hi,

Has anyone got a copy of this book which they do not need and would like to sell:

The Complete M. G. TD Restoration Manual - by Horst Schach.

Thanks,

Doug



Doug Wallace

I bought my copy from Horst at his seminar at MG2016 in Louisville and he signed it. I'll sell it to you for only 1,000 GBP … that's 500 below Amazon UK !!!
WHAT?????

$69.95 at Abingdon Spares. Shipping to UK is not cheap.

Perhaps direct from the author. Email may be out of date:
hschach@uky.edu

Malcolm Green's "MG T Series Restoration Guidebook" is a good companion book.

Good luck in your quest.

Hi Lonnie,

Thanks for this help and contact for Horst.

It is really outrageous what these booksellers ask for the books they keep hidden away!

Hi D Sander, and Dave Hill,

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

I agree about the cost. Some booksellers here want $200 AU for a copy of the Red Car! A word of caution though. I have most of the books mentioned above but none of them are completely accurate in terms of originality, if that's what you are seeking. The best sources of accurate information are the original WSM, the Driver's Handbook issued with the car and the Original MG TD and TF midget sites on the web. The latter is constantly updated as new information comes to light. The TD and TF galleries on both sites are particularly informative showing hundreds of pics of relatively unmolested cars. Cheers

Doug, I have the book which is signed by Horst. You are welcome to have it for cost of shipping. I think I sent a picture of it without any comment. Not to good at this sending picture stuff. Let me know if you get the pictures and if you want me to send it to you. John

Here is the cover page. It is in pretty good shape.

John,

Thank you for your kind offer, however, I already was in contact with Horst {thank you Lonnie for the contact details!} and he has very graciously autographed and sent a copy to me, already received.
