My newest addition to the fleet, a 1952 MG TD. This car was pretty much nut-and-bolt restored in 2004, and used as an occasional driver since. So it is not perfect, but has a nice patina. I am going to drive and enjoy it, and do little cosmetic type projects as the mood strikes me. Maybe fill in some of the paint chips or polish up the carbs and linkage. Could use fresh carpet and I am going to install a new burl maple dashboard.

Here is one I had on my phone of the interior. I may have a few on my computer at home. I will check and see. It was a very nice one. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Only one I could find with a decent look at it has it in the background. I thought I took some shots of it, but must have deleted them when I was cleaning up the folder of pics. Image Unavailable, Please Login
At the Winter Park Concours dElegance I had to wait a while for the crowds to clear from this MG. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

I finally subscribed so I can post more pictures. The MGA Mk.2 was the last car (out of a dozen or so) that my dad restored before Alzheimer's began to take hold. He sold it about 13-14 years ago. The owner is no longer driving, so we bought it back! Of the three MGAs my dad restored, this one was remarkable in that there were no creaks or rattles heard while driving it. 14 years later, it's still tight and rattle-free! The Riley 2.5 Saloon was purchased and restored in the mid-1980s. Now, it sort of needs re-restoring. We have an extra engine that needs to be rebuilt as a spare, but need to find a good shop that knows babbitt bearings. My dad was on the look-out for a Healey Silverstone to buy, but that never unfortunately happened. RIP Jim Flankey Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Nice cars! And I really love the garage and the paver driveway where the MGA is parked. What kind of taillights are those on the MGA? I don't think I have ever seen any like that before.
Hi Nathan, Thanks for the kind words! The tail-light arrangement, off of the fenders and onto the body, were only found on the Mk.2s. It makes the rear fenders look more sculptural. I'll post some pictures of my garage in the Garage thread in a day or two. I designed it to look compatible with my house, built in 1936. 1000sf of floor area and 600sf of office (now my residence - after my divorce, I moved into the garage and rented-out the house). Construction costs were around $90 a foot. Fortunately, I'm in a neighborhood where it's tough to over-improve. Look for pix of our '46 TC and '64 MGB. I want the ground floor to look like a MG museum. The Riley was built in Abington along side MGs as both were owned by Lord Nuffield at the time.
Kevin Nice to see another Riley. Had mine in this spot for the last 25 years she is 2.5L drophead. The Healey belongs to the wife who drives the wheels off it Cheers Mark Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi Mark, Your drophead looks like a great restoration candidate... providing you do much of the work yourself. The car, mechanically, was pretty advanced in its time: Twin cam/ hemi head engine, torsion-bar front suspension. Please do a "Riley" word-search in this section and see another photo and the story behind my dad's RM. When Road & Track magazine tested it in 1950, they called it "a car for the connoisseur." Yet today, decent running examples struggle to sell for much more than $15K. Is the Healey a 100-6? Kevin
Yes I will do all my own work on the Riley. It has to wait a few more years as it is in a long list of cars to be done. The Healey is a very early one 1953 100-4 the 503th car down the line . Image Unavailable, Please Login
