After being dormant for many years the car was brought back to life mechanically in 2008/9, when it was again registered for road use, and has been ever since.At that time the following was work and repairs were carried out:all fluids drained and replaced, including gas tank.New plugs, points, etc.Brakes rebuiltNew clutchAll new hoses and clamps.New BatteryNew tires.The car is now one of the best running and driving TDs around.I have had the pleasure of driving it locally to a couple of events and it starts first time, idles smoothly and pulls strongly, no smoke or fumes, a tight sound engine that would seem to validate the mileage shown.Brakes are exceptional, there is no play in the steering, and the transmission shifts effortlessly and is very precise.A wonderful driving experience all round and bellies the car's real age. No cosmetics were attempted, the object was to keep the car as original as possible,and keep it's wonderful patina.There are far too many "restored" TDs around,so to find a superbly original perfectly running and driving TD is a real treat. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a wonderful TD that has never been up for salesince it left the dealership back in 1951.
