I helped a friend find his first TC a while back. He documented the experience and made a little video. You'll also see a couple people from our group in there other than myself.
Enjoy!

Re: TC Video
There`s not many feelings like it and over the years of buying different MGs it doesn`t change. One small point to note if you`ve not tried it a car is much easier to "roll" if you push the wheels (if possible) rather than the body- and less likely to damage. Especially by yourself.

Re: TC Video
Very enjoyable, thanks for posting. So what is the status of the car now?
Back on the road again?

Good to see some young guys taking an interest in these old cars.

Then there are those that aren't. Note the flat left front tire. These truckers have a built-in air supply but it was no use on this tire. Towing it 200 feet shredded it completely.

Re: TC Video
He's progressing through it slowly. The engine refused to turn, so it's apart now being rebuilt. I'm doing what I can to help. I believe there will be an update video in the works soon.stephen stierman wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 4:04 amVery enjoyable, thanks for posting. So what is the status of the car now?

Texted with Daniel yesterday. The block is in the machine shop and needs the cylinder liners replaced.
Yes Franz, he should post his progress here. We’d all like to see it.

Re: TC Video
I have my TA now 3.5 years
I was in the garage all day today
it's fun to be there all day
the new dashboard is so fine, i could feel it all the day
the last 2 years i restored the MG YA 1675 and i am really proud of it
when I look at my TA blog today it is like yesterday
if others enjoy reading it too it is even better
these cars are just works of art for me and not these stuffed computers that call themselves cars
the EOS of my wife wanted 2 weeks ago once again not
I would have brought to the workshop it would have cost 850 euros,
Blame was a corroded contact at the Startrelays
that no one would have repaired although it was done in 20 minutes
