MG TD TF 1500 - Why?

E-bay TD with what is said is $50,000 in restoration work.

Just have to ask why you would do a full restoration keep everything the same (seats, engine, etc) but then do such an odd color.

bruce, i agree, the color in these pics seems strange....stange enough that someone rammed the car... i wonder what it looks like in person. this is the second time i have seen this car listed. the seller still calls this a "concourse" restoration vice "concours" restoration. does that mean he restored it at the airport using airport transfers tonbridge? that would explain the damage...those darn baggage handlers. tp

Sure makes my Old English White TD look grand. As the man said, "it takes all kinds".

I think that I can explain the damage - "This car has had a $50,000...rotissary restoration." He left it on the barbeque too long. Cheers - Dave

God, If I had $50,000 to restore my TD, it would be the absolute best in the nation with every part as aboslutly original as money could buy>

But then, I would probably just buy two more and restore them to nice driver quality so others could enjoy them.

Just my opinions. While the color looks nice, it just looks out of place on a TD. Valve cover is wrong color, voltage regulator looks well used, The black interior is not right either, and it looks like they missed the undercarriage on the restoration.
