Oh, and want something really wild? He has been in personal contact with Dr. Alex Moulton, the inventor of the revolutionary hydrolastic suspension system used in these cars. Some of the emails back and forth before them are reproduced on his site. Don’t worry that the site is named for the Austin America, Todd supports the MG 1100 and all the other varieties as well.

These people are all over, but sometimes they are actually easier to find in small towns than in large. They seem to get lost in all the commercialism of really big cities. If you know some of these people, I would love to hear about them. One such place is in the upper North West of the US and serves Seattle auto repair.

You can read more about Jeff’s Auto online, but suffice it to say that one does not open numerous shops, have certified mechanics, and offer everything for regular repair and serve to auto detail services just for the fun of it. Especially for over twenty years. Most people who are into just for the money get out long before that. Heck, even those who are in it for the real love of the cars often can’t make it that long.

So if you know some people like this, mechanics of the old school who you can recommend, please pass the information along. We would like to let the motoring world know more about them.

The MG TD was arguably the most popular of all the T series cars. It followed the success of the TC Midget which made inroads into the United States market. Underpinned by the success of the TC, the TD answered calls for a bigger and better equipped car.

MG was then owned by the Nuffield Group and as the 1950s were about to dawn, major changes were taking place at the MG Abingdon factory, with Riley models also being produced there. The development of the TD was done on a shoestring because there was a shortage of investment in the brand. But what appeared was inspirational in the cash-strapped circumstances.

Based in part on the Y-Type tourer, the TD had independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering. It was much more comfortable and the traditional wire wheels were replaced with more modern disc designs. It was a classic transitional design, feeding in the best of the old with new ideas.

The TD body was considerably wider than earlier models to give more elbow room. The fascia, although new, remained traditional as did the separate flowing front wings, running boards, separate headlamps and vertical slat radiator. Paying homage to tradition, the TD kept the cutaway doors, folding screen with wiper motor bolted on plus basic side screen weather protection.

Coach built body panels were mounted on a traditional ash wooden frame.Again, underlying its ‘hairy’ sports car past, the TD had no heater or a radio. Plus there was no individual adjustment on the front seats. It really was one size fits all.

It was heavier than the old TC and slower, but customers flocked to buy it when the wraps were thown off in 1949. It was produced over four years and 29,664 units were built. The TD set a new production record for MG with a staggering 10,838 being produced in 1952 alone.

But its 78 mph top speed was becoming sedate by emerging standards and the TD was eventually replaced in the short term by a face-lifted and more modern version called TF. But the real change came in 1961 when the curvaceous 100mph MGA put the brand on course for decades.

This is a great deal on one of my favorite magazines. Be sure to check them out.

According to their site they put together Bring A Trailer to showcase the best of the US classic car marketplace to the enthusiast, investor, and racer. They’ve found that the prime ownership opportunities aren’t usually found in the glossy pages of the well known classic mags or at the fancy auctions, and are often sold far quicker than classifieds can get to print.

A sample of the cars you will find on their front page? How about a V-6 Sunbeam Alpine, a TR4 vintage racer, a 1969 Bugeye Sprite, plus Alfas, BMWs and some great others. You can waste literally hours here.
