I tried to edit my message on a cell phone and ended up deleting most of it!..
Now on a lap top

There are about 12 TD's offered for sale on the auction site listed above in my first posting,, by the Beverly Hills Car Club,, from Los Angeles,,, and they all have ID numbers that start with 06, followed by three numbers,,, None have a regular T Type ID number,, Any Idea why?? Seems strange,, I could see maybe one or two,, but ALL of them ????

Steve - That looks like it is just an inventory number for the company. If you notice, even the non MG have a similar numbers - same format. Cheers - Dave

I'm actually fascinated that they have captured a niche in the market - largely unrestored cars, barn-finds and cars generally needing substantial work, missing or incorrect drivetrains, interiors, and with significant rust or structural issues.

They can't be expected to know everything, but they persist in listing a red TD as a TD/C or Mark II car, when it isn't (stock 06227, http://www.beverlyhillscarclub.com/1953-mg-td-c-competition-c-5277.htm),

despite being told multiple times why it isn't. Wrong carbs, no Andrex shocks, single fuel pump, etc. etc. The other two Mark II cars are fine, surprisingly!

All their cars are totally "What-you-see-is-what-you-get," and a careful examination usually shows many more problems than are immediately visible. Chassis rusted through, floors pretty much lace, fenders ripped off and re-attached with string or simply pushed in place. Nor are their prices bargains- my guess is that they are about 1/3 higher than the cars are worth, or for what they can be bought elsewhere.

As a rescuer of orphans I very much like looking at what they have for sale, but I don't think I would have the trust to buy one.
