cooperlola Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 This is really annoying me, Cassis 'cos I would have said early '70 but the number one was carried by 'vettes then. It's not quite a T33 (nose doesn't look quite right to me.) Stumped. Grrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 My favorite toy in the late 60s was one I had for a couple of years in Singapore...[IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/MGTC2A.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/MGTC1A.jpg[/IMG]Fantastic fun in sprints and driving tests. Never won, because I was up against frog eye sprites, Triumph TR3A and the like. But nobody had as much fun as I did!!!My other passion is radio controlled gliders (always radio, sometimes controlled?). This is my Fouga Magister, a glider, being launched for me.[IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/MAGISTER7.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 JJ,That wouldn't by chance be TC with 16in rears and 19in fronts would it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Spot on Steve. 16 X 600 rears and 19 X 450 fronts. It was the only way that I could get it to go in a straight line at anything over 70. 85 flat out, but not very fair on the old girl and as I had to stop to pick up bits it was quicker at 60??! Cost me £35 and I sold her for £135. I couldn't afford to bring it back, but when I got to my new posting at Brize Norton I was told that if I had asked it could have been put on a VC10 for nowt. I cried!!!Chassis number 1641 and my Forces Driving Club Singapore membership number was 1461. The block had been skimmed to raise the comp ratio and it was raced in the 1956 Singapore GP, formular libre. Didn't get anywhere though. I had a LOT of fun with that car.

powerdesal Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 JJ,I wish I had a photo of my first car, a 47 TC, similarly with 16 rears and 19 fronts. I got it for 70 quid out of a chicken shed, spent 12 months rebuilding it virtually from scratch. Eventually sold it for about 150 ( stupid fool). It was a great car at college, used to get 4 of us in it down the east lancs road. Wish I had it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Mine was a 46, so little or no difference. A mate had a TD, you know, the one with that funny independant front suspention and pressed steel wheels.I had to do a strip on mine too and fit new rings and other bits. When my mate and I started it up again there was no oil pressure. So I disconnected the guage pipe and started the engine again. That cleared the airlock and a jet of oil came up from the orifice, over my shoulder and straight into our lounge and hit the wall the other side of the room. I yell at my mate to switch off and we watched this stream of oil get weaker and run down the wall and across the floor and terrace back to the engine. We were NOT popular!!!The engine was covered with MG badges. The rocker box had a flip and screw top for the oil filler. Both were octagonal with MG in the middle. As was the alloy rocker box securing nuts and the filter housing for the twin SUs. I am convinced that it was a special somewhere along the line.Tha only thing I have now are my memories and the radiater cap! Solid brass and heavy!![IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/MGTC3.jpg[/IMG]What part of the East Lancs. I used to live in Astley for 6 years...

powerdesal Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Must be special, my 47 didn't have all those hexagons. I cant really remember that much of the finer detail, it was a loooooooong time ago. I was doing a CEGB course at St Helens and a bunch of us used to go down the east lancs towards Liverpool, there was (if I remember rightly) a teachers training college somewhere there that had attractions of the female variety.

cooperlola Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 This is mine - not as posh as yours but the is colour unimportant given that you can rarely see it under all the mud! PS I have removed the hideous "bull bars" (it used to have a snow plough on the front) - before anybody comes after me.[img]http://static.flickr.com/123/323957902_a7a8ecebe6.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 The dark colour of my Jeep is deceptive, there are dents all over it.

An early 110 by the look of the door hinges (S3), V8 No?. The bull bar is crap, glad you removed it. As a matter of interest, between 1985 and 1991 I was 'SEP Landrover Spares' in Wales. Own company, now extinct. [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 1984, 2.5 litre diesel. What gets me about the colour is that somebody at Landrover must actually have sat there and thought "yes, we'll sell a few of these." Impossible to credit, isn't it? But I paid £800 for it so I kind of ignored the colour. I used to have a V8 - best tow vehicle I ever owned but it was either get shot of it or go bankrupt.
