Got a photo for you

Thanks for the kind words and advice since I joined up a few days ago.  I’m looking forward to being part of the forum and hope to be in a position soon to be of help to the rest of the group.

Here are the new wheels.

Good looking car, mine is still in the shop being refurbished, the mechanic geeks saying next moth, he’s been telling me that for 9 months.

Thanks, Bill.  Sorry to hear you’re being put off and hope you get it on the road soon.

Here are some pics of my project before restoration.  I got it last
November.  Getting repaint, Brown and Tan, new upholstery and carpet, new dash
and instruments, rewired, hydraulic brake and clutch pedals, chrome grill, re
chroming everything else, engine seems ok as is.  Hope to be rolling by
September.

Dave, Oh yeah, forgot, that VW steering wheel has to go also.

Bill,
She looks pretty nice even before the makeover, though I have to admit that there’s a bit of an aesthetic issue with the dash. 

And I hate to admit it but I envy the extra space you get with the rear engine.

Here’s a picture of interest – An MDTD photographed in Ft. Myers Florida about 1955 or so. This was taken by my mother during a parade.  Driver is likely the owner of a local auto dealer – Hudsons and other special interest cars.

Dave B. Is that a London Roadster ? It looks a lot like mine . The only difference that I can see are the front fender mirrors , wheels ,and the running lights ( mine are yellow )

Greg, London Roadster didn’t exist in 1955. This is a “real” MGTD.

[Paul Mossberg]

There’s no pulling the wool over Roy’s eyes, eh?

Except that Greg is asking about Dave B’s car. Not the TD that Kall posted. Just sayin! 😛

That white-wall TD looks to have the rare trim rings augmenting the hub caps. Very cool kit, that.

Beautiful car Dave. Is that a Classic Roadster Dutchess? I am almost done restoring mine, need to paint it the same color as yours. I am also thinking of painting my front grill slates a tan color like the interior. I am real envious of how your “new wheels” look. I hope you enjoy this web site, there is a lot of talented guys here.

Best Regards
