I’ve learned something, thanks! I wouldn’t know any differences from a TA, TB or TC.

This is a 1938 TA, way before the TC which was not made until 1945.  The TAs replaced the PB in 1936 but this one is a Tickford drophead coupe by Salmons of Newport Pagnell which were made beginning in 1938 and was a luxury edition, only 252 of these were made.  Here’s the plaque from the exhibit but it can be seem better here:

Good to see you here!

Something like the Mercedes Gazelle maybe, doors and bumpers anyway. From what little I know of those.

What a great way to show the car without leaving it outside. Although I think part of the reason for insurers wanting “classic” cars to be garaged is to be locked and hidden away. Don’t know if that’s true. 

Seems to be a TC model from before the TD, narrow and short fenders. Love the color, of course, blue’s my favorite.

Or would make a great tree ornament at a smaller size. Looks like a red foil covering it.

Incredibly, Moss is actually cheaper for the TD-style repros. Item 53 appears to be the full set–both outside handles, inside strikers and mechanism, for $260 plus shipping.

Yeah man! Congrats on your new car.

TD kits used two different kinds of latches, reproduction originals and “slam” latches (FIberFab and Migi used these, although others may have as well).It’ll be obvious which ones you need when you see the pictures.The reproduction latches are here:http://www.mgmagicclassicmotorparts.com/door-lock-set-smooth-travel-complete-2-doors/The “slam” type…[Read more]

A great place to find all sorts of good stuff:http://mgmagicclassicmotorparts.comThey do have door latches.

Another thought, if you store your pictures on line, either in the cloud, flickr, photobucket or some other commercial product, you can link to those pictures.

Apple product? Not sure how to compress photos in that environment, but I’m sure someone here does. If not, I can always turn to my daughter for advice. 😉

Welcome, nice pic of ur car. I’m sure u will like it here. This is a great place to come up with new ideas for ur car.

I’m sure u will like it here.

I may retire to Charleston about a year from now.

Do not have Microsolf Office.

Yes. Most interfere. For our purposes, I still like the “tire step” style best.

The original TD style version will interfere with Classic Roadster Ltd. Duchess’ bottom hinged engine cover. Hence the search for options.PMOSSBERG2015-12-28 14:57:35
