After much hinting around my wife lowered the boom on me over the
weekend. She now is very serious about having me sell her TF. She said
she would prefer a new kitchen and family room flooring instead of the
car. Man, is that messed up. But, be that as it may, I have to sell the
car. So if you know of anyone interested in a freshly restored 1955 MG TF
1500, white exterior, red interior, drop me a line. I can send a page of
what was done to it, it reads almost like "if you can think of it, it was
done."
The mechanical work was done at Mike Goodman's in Van Nuys
California. The engine was completely rebuild, including balancing. The
flywheel was even balanced (after installing the new pinion gear). Brakes,
radiator, carbs, starter, water pump. fuel pump, etc etc etc were all
rebuild. New tires, new paint, new top, new side curtains, new carpet. To
make it ready for a concours I have a 1955 owners manual (the original that
came with the car that is worn, and a new untouched one), a 1955 dealers
brochure, a 1955 full page magazine ad, original tools (and almost
disintegrated original tool roll). wind wings, Brooklands racing
windshields (not install, still in a box), rear luggage rack (the high
level one). And a lot more. My wife is the third owner. The first owner
had it 2 years, the second owner drove it 10 years then it sat in his
garage until I purchased it late last year.
Drop me a line if you want pictures of the completed car. A CD of
pictures of the restoration also comes with the car.
