MG TD TF 1500 - 1968 Moss Motors bill
I found this in a parts box in my newly acquired 51 TD. I thought some of you might be interested in the prices back in 1968.

Yeah and if made $12,000 a year you were doing pretty well. |

Note the printing in red "THE FOLLOWING PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER" At GOF West in San Diego back in 1980, Al Moss was presented with a set of personalized license plates that read "BAKORDR" |

Great stuff! Probably not many of those old receipts left. What a treasure. |

From the tail pipe that was on the TC at my place last year. I would guess that the pipe was sent unboxed based on the fact that the shipping info was on the tag taped to the pipe.

I don't remember any Moss receits but you might remember this 1969 SU fuel pump price from J C Whitney. There was a sales flyer from Moss about this time period and you could pick up some real bargins including many things they no longer have...like complete Healey 6 cylinder engines for 300 bucks, fenders for the same at 75 bucks. There was a receit from a shop that did list a lot of parts that went into his TF I believe and the prices would make you cry today.

Christopher, you are correct. My kids told me how lucky I was as a teenager to get gas at 32 cents a gallon. I reminded them that I was working as a dishwasher after school making 50 cents an hour. |
