Malaysia and Singapore TCs

Post by Bill Ritson » Thu Jul 10, 2014 8:06 am

Does anyone know of a record of those TCs which were sent to Malaysia and Singapore?

I don't know of the official documentation, but I know mine, TC7225, is one of them from the maintenance records of the PO.

7226 and 7227 were sold new in Sydney. Are you tracing a particular car Bill? I am not aware of any records covering export countries.

My car is TC9981.

When new it appears to have been exported to Malaysia, but I have no documentation to confirm that it was there prior to 1965. The car was used for some low key competition in Malaya, and as with many T types it has been much altered over the years.

Before I think about doing any restoration work on the car, it would be nice to know something of its history.

Regards,

The three TC's before yours all came to Australia. Another batch put aside for export I expect and possibly on the same ship. 9979 and 9980 arrived on the Gloucester to Sydney 24 Jan 1950 and were both black with green upholstery.
