MG TD TF 1500 - T Series Owners...what age?
| Well, it seems that this weekend, I was considering some portrait photos and snapped a test of meself. Arrrggghh...who is that "older" gentleman???? Went right out and purchased some over-the-counter hair color and a few other sundries! Seriously, though, wha' happened? I am indeed gettin older. Sheesh. Guess I am earning my status as a grandpa. Which got me to thinking, at what age did YOU folks buy your first MG T car? I wuz 56... Octagonally, DaveL |

| Got my first T series at 47, but bought my first MG at age 16. Had MG's ever since! |
| M Whitt |
| ...bought this one when I was 48, got my first TC model when I was 12 after reading "The Red Car." Now I'm 50, and this TD will be "The British Racing Green Car With Black Fenders." But all the other sports cars and motorcycles in my life wouldn't have happened without that book and the two red TC's and a Type M midget that my neighbor had when I was reading that darn book. Now I'm the old guy with the funny car collection, and it's these neighborhood kids who are stopping by my garage. And the cycle fenders on my TD are the pair that have come from one of those red TC's of 1968. Funny how life loops back on itself, isn't it. Dave J. |

| I saw my first MG in 1948 (a TC) when in the 7th grade at Boston Latin School, and said 'someday I'll own one of those!' Well it took a while. I bought a 1932 J2 two years ago at age 68 and my TF last year at age 69. I am still looking for a TC and maybe this year at age 70 after my IRA kicks in. I drive the TF year 'round, on dry days, with no heater, and I never put the top up. All my friends head to their condos down south for several months but I like it here on Cape Cod all year.

| Bought my TD at 28, my TF at 43, and my B at 53. Still have them all at age 75+, and still driving them. BUT they are all growing old much more gracefully than their owner. George Herschell |

| Purchased my first 1952 TD at the age of 33-34. I received it right around my birthday February of 2001. |
| V.W. Piña |
| Adopted my TD when dad bought it for mom when about 16. Became legal owner when around 30. George |
| George Butz |
| My father sat in a new MGZA Magnette in the mid 50s in Macon , GA and really wanted to buy it (family man) but couldn't. He inherited his 50 TD in 1976 - he still drives it and he is now 80. He had the bug early on - but not the bucks! Jeff |
| J Delk |
| We bought our TD in 2000. We're both celebrating our 63rd birthday this month, been married 38 years and still having a blast! |

| In 1959 I saw a '55 TF 1500 on a used car lot in the Albany - Schenectady area of New York State... The seed had been planted... I was 15 and my Dad, who was 58, was buying a new Morris Minor at the dealership at the time... I finally became the owner of a '55 TF 1500 when I was 57... So now I'm 63 and one of those "grey haired old guys" with a little red sports car... Life is good ;-) Cheers, Rod Macleod - TF 1500 HDB46/6798 ("Molly") |
| Rod Macleod |
| Got my A roadster in 97, my A coupe in 2000 and my TF in 2002. 60 years old now and about half way done on a 64 AH 3000. Just a glutton for punishment I guess. They are sure is fun to drive when you are done! John |
| John Progess |
| Bought my '47 TC at age 29, my first '53 TD at 46, and my latest '53 TD at 64. I'm planning on another TC when I grow up :-) Larry |

| I bought my TF1500 "basket case" in December 1973 when I was 21, after being turned down on a loan for a new MG Midget (only had 22 months left in Navy - NFCU would not do a 22 mo. loan - wanted me to extend my enlistment!) LOL. Had it rebuilt and running by August 1974 - been driving it since. as fate goes I think I did much better on both accounts. I am 54 now. Joe B |
| Joe Buchmiller |
| Got my first TD at 16, when my parents gave me the one they had on my birthday. Sold it the following year (1960) for $400 when I went in the Navy, and kicked myself for 14 years until I fond another one in 1974. I wasn't going to buy that as the guy wanted $2000 for it! and I was a young husband with a wife and two little children - wasn't practical. My wife talked me into getting it, saying we needed a second car and she could, after all drive a stick shift. We got the TD, which was in fair condition, but it ran well. For the next 7 years, that was my wife's car (I got to drive it on the weekends), which she used to do all the things a young wife with two small children do - in other words, she ran the wheels off of it, hauling groceries, kids, dog, even lumber in it. In 1981, when I said that I was going to restore it, I was told in no uncertain terms, that "you are not touching that car until I have another MG to drive!" Thus we now own a MGB in addition to the TD. Dave L. - I ran a query like this some years ago (the ne in 2003) and tabulated the responses. If you want to see what I cam up with, e-mail me and I'll send them to you (I know, you've sent me your e-mail address before, but I didn't record it). Cheers - Dave |
| David DuBois |
| I am 58 and I bought my TD - half-basket back in 2003. Greatly enjoying the restoration project. Only sadness: whilst the car certainly looks younger during the multi-years restoration process, the restorer definetely looks older.....Greetings, Huib |
| Huib Bruijstens |
| My TF1500 became mine officially (title transfer) in 1999 when I was 45. Prior to that it had been in our family since 1960. I remember being smitten by that little car from the very beginning (six years of age) and through the ensuing 40 some years afterwards always wanting to own it. Now I finally do. It remains the "family car" in the sense it's still in the family, driven by all on occasion, and talked about regularly. It's just parked in my garage now instead of the folks. Interestingly, my girlfriends daughter (who's six years old) is completely enamored by the MG. If given a choice to ride in her mother's new convertible Toyota, or my Jaguar XK8 convertible, or the MG.....she prefers the MG. Cheers, Jim |
| Jim Rice |
| TD at 24,MGA at40, present TF at 57 - still enjoy the 'fettling' ! Cheers John. |
| J.C Mitchell |
| Well I bought my first 'T' series, a TF1500, in August 1958. Sold it in 1974(?) and suffered a real identity crisis. Bought my TD, a candidate for restoration in 1992. Then saw an advert for a TF1500 with spare engine a few years later and bought it. They are both restored and on the road now. What a dilema, which one to drive today. I was born the same day as the Queen,long live the Queen. Cheers, Bob |

| My father-in-law took me into "grannies garage" to sho me HIS TD restoration project 12 years ago when I was 39. I longed after it for 11 years and inherited it at the age of 50. Started learning about restoration ever since. Patrick |

| Scott McCoy |
| Hi To all, Well, I literally have to much time on my hands, since I am now on vacation until after the New Year... As a result of this I took a look at the ages, at which the respondents were, when they acquired/bought a T Series car... I then took a total and determined the average... So far, based on the above list, the average age when a T Series became a "the other woman" in our lives is 44 years old... Isn't that curious?? That's about the age then a "mid-life crisis" can be expected... Cheers, Rod Macleod - TF 1500 HDB46/6798 ("Molly") |
| Rod Macleod |
| I bought my TF 1500 in 2001 at age 44, and just turned 50 last week. My TF is one year older than I am. |
| Mark B. |
| Bought my 1952 TD in 1996 aged 47 in stead of the Triumph TR3a that I was visiting the classic cardealer for. Never regretted it........... Erik |
| Erik vanHardeveld |
| Fell in "Love" with a TF1500 @ age 3! For some odd reason owned just about everything else but one untill age 46! (Austin's / Bug-eye's / TR's / Sunbeams / Triumphs / Morgan / Mini's ect.) Could have actually afforded it with money I had saved to by 1st new car in the 60's ...but oppted for a shinny new 68 Firebird Covertable instead. Funny when I went to pick-up "Izzy" the broker was trying to talk me "out" of the deal we had ....he had a 68 Firebird Convertable...he came close to talking me into it! Cheers, David 55 TF1500 #7427 |

| First TD (a 52) at 24. Second (a 51) at 62. There's nothing like a TD. |
| George Merson |
There seem to be alot of youngsters here, No problems for the tds and tfs to live on for many years to come. thoralf at 69 TD 1950 |
| t g sorensen |
| Scott YOU SOLD A 3000 HEALEY AND A E- TYPE JAG. I bet you kick yourself each day over those. (But the TD makes up for it). I still have the TD and the B GT. |
| BEC Cunha |
| Since other makes have been introduced, I'll contribute the following. My TD is the fastest and best handling of my antiques. It shares garage space with a 1902 Curved Dash Oldsmobile, 1931 Model A Ford Victoria coupe, and a 1944 John Deere Model E stationary engine. Always something to do. |
| John Masters |
| I'm ashamned to say what I sold! Let's start with a Ferrari 250 SWB (chassis 1931); followed more foolishly by a Ferrari 275 GTB/4 chassis 09285, now in Vancouver), followed by not one, but a pair of Abarth Zagatos 750's, an E-Type roadster, an Alfa 1750 GTC and many other I can't quickly recall. I'd hate to think what those Ferraris are worth today - certainly WAY below what I sold them for! Oh well, its just money! Gord Clark Rockburn, Qué. |
| Gordon A. Clark |
| My first British machine was a '67 Triumph Bonneville that I had when I was in college. Still have the tools! Acquired a 52TD last year when I was just 58, hoped to work on it with my son. He left for college. Dave 52TD |
| mgaviator |
| I would have liked to live at your house Gordon. The 275 GTB is at the top of my list of cars I'd like to have. Second would be an XKE roadster. I have resigned myself to the fact that I could not afford them when they were new and that I will now never be able to afford them. Oh well. LaVerne |
| LED DOWNEY |
| Hi Gordon C, Chop it out Gordon!! You were making me envious with the above description until I remembered that you are the man with the TF bought from new.Now that is something to really envy! I was born in 1952 so you have had the amazing fortune and pleasure of driving one of the best MGs ever built for a far longer time than I.Cheers to you and your loyalty! Rob.Grantham TF3719("Aramis"),TF9177("Athos"). |
| Rob. Grantham |
| I actually have never bought a T-Car, my wife bought it for me for my 60th birthday, some 9 years ago. For her it was a safe buy as we had known and driven the car in 1957 when it was owned by her cousins. That's ok, I bought her a Steinway and it cost more than the T and only has tree wheels. However, its value has climbed about 5 times over the years. Not half as much fun though. I, bought my first MG only 2 years ago, a 69 MGB-GT. We love both of them. Merry Christmas |
| Colin Stafford |
| Hey Colin, So is it true? "Steinway's & Morgans"...."same suspension" components? I think many of us are at that age of "why didn't I keep that one"! My list includes a 57 Ford retractable (sold 4 $150) a 68 Firebird Covertable COFA Auto w/a 428 engine from the factory (sold 4 $500 and later deemed "the prototype for the 69 Trans-Am") a 58 Morgan (sold 4 $1200) a 58 Harley Panhead (sold 4 $800) a few other's that hurt...joke is that we "live" in our Bug-Eye...we were smart enough that we sold that one for the down payment on the house we live in! I would kick myself daily if it were not for my father....He owned and ran a used car lot late 50's & early 60's that sold mostly Eropean & American sports car's. The list of "wishihaditbacks" from him would bring tears to your eye's...2 that come to mind all the time when I see all these "kit-versions" were the twin Cobras..427 and a 289. But then again...we have to remember the ones we had that we are glad we got rid of ...I do not miss my 71 Gremlin or my wife's 79 Plymouth wagon! Cheers, David 55 TF1500 #7427 |

| I was 48 on Dec 30, 2005 drove to Chicago to pick it up and have been in love and grease ever since. Tim |

| Got a 1952 MG TD a little over two years ago at age 55 but read "The Red Car" when I was about 12 or so. That is when it started even though the TD was not my first LBC--you never forget the first one! Gary |
| GG Krafft |
| I think I see a few names here that need to send Gordon a photo. |
| LED DOWNEY |
| I was 22 when I bought my green TD. Now 54 and apart from this MG also MS which unfortunately makes it impossible to drive MG's all. TD still there though......... |
| Bas |
| When I was 47 my father gave me the 1952 MG TD he restored in about 1980. A few years later he missed not having an MG in his garage, so I helped him find and purchase a nicely restored 1960 MGA. Dad wanted to drive, and not undertake a full restoration. At 85, Dad still takes the MGA on the road. I'm now 55. My TD is special. Larry |
| Larry Shoer |
| 1962 MGB I was 30 1967 Midget I was 57 1951 TD well... I turn 60 next Saturday. |
| Sid Orr |
| My father bought our 52 TD new when I was 6 months old and he turned it over to me when I was 16. |
| Chris Couper |
| TD was my first car at the age of 18 back in 1965 I've never lost my love of MGs and have had several others over the years. I currently play with a 2001 Lotus Elise ( hope you will forgive me ?) and a 1991 1380 Mini Cooper. However, a young (to me) friend has a TD and a Midget which has just received a 1380 transplant that I had built by Howley Racing in 1983. So, keep passing on the enthusiasm and encouraging the youngsters - maybe they will have as much fun as we did! Chris |
| Chris Harris |
| Sid, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Octagonally, DaveL |
| dave lackey |
| Bought Tiffany exactly a week after my 29th birthday. Unknown at that time but car & I are both Pisceans. Six months later another leap of faith - got married. Also first time the little lady met Tiff. 8-) |
| Will |
| Thought I'd let all you youngsters reply first. I fell in love with T series before WW 2 but didn't have a chance to have one till June 2005 when I bought my Red 52 TD at age 77. Absolutely love it, as does everyone else who sees it. So far can do all the necessary work on it myself (with the great advice I glean from other generous owners). George Metz at 78 |
| GF Metz |
| I finally got my 54 TF just this May at age 66. My first MG was a 1500 MGA in 1975 at the age of 35. Then I got an 79 MGB in fall of 95 at 65 years of age. Now the wife says I have to sell one if I want another one. Guess I'll quit (for now). |
| Howard Battan |
| Our MG TD has been in the Johnston Family since August 1972. My father (45yrs @ the time) purchased the car from a college student in Spokane, WA. After driving the TD for over 25 yrs, through most of Northern ID, WA & Northern OR, my dad passed the TD to me many yrs ago. I'm 50yrs old & plan on passing our family TD to one of my two young sons (ages 14 & 11). But, only after I have driven the Johnston Family TD to as many adventures, locations & states that my dad had done in the past. What a wonderful post! Happy & Safe Holidays to all! Joe (52TD) |
| Joe Johnston |
| I found a photo of me in my college dorm room from '72 with the Road and Track TC 'centerfold' on the wall. The love affair goes back a ways. '66 Midget at 30 (long gone) '68 B at 32 (longer gone) '52 TD at 52 Just turned 54; the TD came off the assembly line the same week I did. Yes, Gordon, I owe you a picture of my poor, partially disassembled car. I have to track down a digital camera (and give the garage a good cleaning) before I post it. Cheers, Tom |
| T. A. Sorensen |
| 60 now, bought my TD to restore when I was 45. The restoration is nearly complete!! |
| Richard Olson 2 |
| I fell in love with the swept wing MGs back about 1956 when my brother had a windup one. Read the "Red Car" in high school. Had to have one. TC's my first choice were $2000 when I graduated from college. They were also rare in South Dakota. Found a TD for $1200 which I bought that very fall of 1967 at age 21. Still love it, but also pine away for the TC. I did aquire a different type of TC in 1975: an MGA TC. That's still not running. Also bought a 67 MGB a few years ago as it was a bargain. Still wish for the TC, even though the twin cam is rarer and more potent. Regards, Blake |
| Bullwinkle |
| There are now about 80 responses to this thread. Being somewaht of a stats freak, it would be interesting to plot a histogram of these ages, as there are probably enough data points to do so. ... problem is, that quite a few didn't actually state their present age. Just a little bit of history. I suppose one could extrapolate in many cases, but I don't have the time to do all those backward calculations! Gord Clark Rockburn, Qué. |

| I am currently 57 and have had MG's since I was 19, starting with an MGA. Over the years I had many MGA's and MGB's but didn't purchase my first "T" series until I was 49. That was my 1950 MGTD. Purchased my TF at 56. I am currently the guardian of a 1950 MGTD, 1954 mgtf, 1959 MGA Coupe and a 1974 MGB GT. Too many toys not enough time ;>) Brian |

| Well, We encountered our "Tuffy". Actually my wife did. A 1953 MG TD coloured red body and beige wings. Biscuit coloured interior, beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! It was she who saw it at an oldtimer automobile show in 1999. We were 55 at that time. She fell immediately in love with it and named it "Tuffy" and purchased it straightaway. Actually we were both at that particular oldtimer autombile show. And I was looking for a Citroen (traction avant) but it never came to that. Been married 38 years. Seven years later we are still in love with our "Tuffy". Great motoring, many adventures in Great Britain. Now that we have the status of Grandpa and Grandma. Looking back on our previous cars we owned. First "Dumpy" a 1957 Renault 4, I was 22 years. Scondly a new Morris Mini 1000. I was 24 at that time. I myself drive a 1967 Volvo Amazon for about 31 years now, which I purchased in 1975. Great automobile. Still enjoying both cars immensely. I am 62 now. Cheers. Alvin. PS. gblawson - TD#27667 Ontario Canada, I will be sending you a photo of "Tuffy". |

| First restoration project ( a 1966 German built Glas 1300GT coupe) at 18. Second major project: a 1959 MGA 1500 roadster at 26.(Both cars regrettably sold). Third, a 1963 MG Midget at 33 (still under restoration). Fourth, the 1952 TD at 40 (midlife crisis ???), waiting to be restored. Fifth, the 1974 MGB at 43 which was last Summer... Fortunately the MGB is a driveable car, the other project might outlive me ! Octagonally ageing indeed ! Cheers, Nick, 52TD/63Midget/74MGB |

| Dave Birthdays are a bitch until you look at the other option. I know for a fact that ABA,OSH, JIW will help get rid of that cadmuim bolt faster than Coke or Pepsi. Tom |

| Several of my vehicle have acquired names. Sometimes to tell them apart, sometimes just for fun. Our TD Mark II has not gotten a name other than "the MG". 1930 Model A coupe, "Cindy Lou" 1931 Model A victoria, "Miss Vicky" 1971 Postal jeep, "Pink Panther" 1988 GMC box van, "Old Yeller" 1960 Ford Falcon, "Green Monster" 1965 Ford Falcon, "Sweet Thing" |
