1953 MG half-dismantled after purchase 50 yrs ago. Xtra fenders, facebar, shocks
1953 MG TD
Vintage 1953 MGTD Mostly Dismantled Plus Spare Fenders, Facebar, Overriders, Shocks & More in East Tennessee.
*MG TD was purchased in E. Tennessee about 50 years ago, driven home and partially dismantled pending a restoration that did not happen. Chassis, engine, etc. and all other parts have been stored in dry garage and barn the entire time. Additional replacement or spare parts were purchased including two rear fenders, a facebar and overriders,a pair of Armstrong shocks (Australian Regd. design #32714), and new black floor mats, among others. There is also a stray rear axle - check the end of the parts list below.*
All significant parts have been photographed and inventoried (see list below)except the wood dashboard; unfortunately it cannot be located. Rest assured the speedometer, other instrumentation and glovebox are included in this offer as pictured, I just cannot find the wooden dashboard. As you would expect the car's underlying wood structure, rag top, and upholstery will have to be replaced. Original engine "PAG / TD2/ 21482", Car # TD/ 21100, Body type 22381. I have included as many pictures as I could squeeze into this listing.
