MG TD TF 1500 - MG TD Blueprints

Sir:

I am looking for Blueprints or “measured drawings” of the MG TD in order to scratch build a model of this automobile in 1/18 scale. The drawings I am looking for are more than simple 4 views of the exterior (front, rear, side and top) but detailed enough to include the chassis and running gear.

I have found a set located on the internet at a sight that calls itself the world’s largest collection of automotive blueprints. So at least I know that what I am looking for exists!

That site is:

Automobile Blueprint Collection

this site is linked to a business in the Netherlands that sells model cars:

Classic Jack

Fax: +31 71 408 26 10

info@classicjack.com

But I have not been able to get in touch with this gentleman. Being persistent I have tried calling, email-ing and fax-ing this gentleman for over 6 months but have gotten no response. So I have given up with him as a possible source. I only include it so that you might see the drawings that I am looking for. He has 2 pages for the “TD” and I would need them both.

At any rate I write in the hope that these plans or similar might be located among your membership. I greatly appreciate any assistance that you might be able to render me in my quest and will joyfully and happily pay any cost of copying, handling and shipping these prints, if they might be found.

Although I am not a “T” series owner I have owned over 65 (yes - sixty five) MGB’s and love them deeply. I have raced them, rallied them, restored them, stripped them, cut them up and built them up for over 20 years. I guess you could say I got them in my blood and am a relative in the MG clan.

Thanks again.

As a post script let me say that my email address is the racing class that I raced MGB’s in - “E Prod” or E Production.

Hello Ted,

I'm not sure from your e-mail exactly what dimensions are critical. However there are very detailed chassis dimensions on pages S2 to S7 in Section S - Chassis Frame Repairs in the Original MG TD midget Workshop manual.

I would expect that all other dimensions for other outline sections can be scaled from these useful dimensions. And some somewhat limited General Dimensions can be found on page 7 of 'General Data' of the same publication.

If you are a member of the NEMGT Register, you might want to ask Don Lawson, the Technical Director, if he has access to these.

Regards,
