Anyone fancy an Arizona T series? Would it be a TC?

95% complete? Looks like a whole lot more missing to me!


I thought Arizona cars didn't rust...?

Not an MG expert, but the only bit I recognise is the remote gearchange (had
one on my TA). But the rest of it - proportions all wrong, seems to be a
little short on some rather useful parts. And you want HOW MUCH for it?
Sorry, know I shouldn't shout, but the words of one of your tennis-playing
countrymen from a few years ago come to mind.

95% by weight, perhaps: certainly not by value. Seats, trim,
instruments, steering column, lights, hood, sidescreens, windscreen,
doors, valance... and that's just the bits you can see are missing. Who
knows what, if anything, is under the bonnet?

It's a TD (little wheels, so not TA, TB, TC (and also lhd); separate
headlamps, so not a TF).

UK value? possibly £2000, if the chassis is good, and it has a
rebuildable engine.

Disk wheels - that's a TD

The bodywork looks in decent condition - however that's an easy bit to
replace anyway. It's probably saveable, but the cost of replacing all
those missing trim parts is going to hurt and the price is ridiculous
for the amount that's missing.

You can get pretty much anything for a T series. For cars of that ilk,
they're one of the easiest to restore.

Looks like a TD to me... or looked like a TD, there isn't much left!

If anyone wants a 1947 TC, my Dad will be selling his very soon...

The owner has changed the price, now $1000.

Sounds more like it. In fact makes it quite cheap!

It hasn't been advertised anywhere yet, but the asking price is
£13,750...

It's not concours, but it certainly is in lovely condition. Just
impractical for my father to drive it after knee surgery.
