Description
This 1936 MG TA has just emerged from a comprehensive chassis up rebuild. The car had been stored in a barn for over 40 years prior to this. The restoration has included a good upgrade which is an XPAG engine that has been fully rebuilt although the original engine block will come with the car. The full list of works includes the following:
All body panels blasted, primed and painted
Front brakes renewed, rear brakes overhauled
New brake master cylinder
Kings pins and rear trunnion bushes renewed
New tyres and tubes
Radiator re-cored with all new hoses
Chromework re-chromed where needed
Engine re-sleeved, re bored, new pistons, crankshaft re-ground with new bearings, cylinder head overhauled
Fast road cam fitted
Stainless steel exhaust fitted
New wiring loom
All instruments overhauled
New interior trim and new carpets
New hood, sidescreens, new frame and fixings
New clutch drive plate - a later MG TD gearbox has been fitted which is all synchro.
New ignition system and light switches
New road wheel spinners
New petrol tank straps and rubbers
New wood as required, floor boards, rear panel and storage panel
New battery and isolator switch
New instrument mounting panel
Direction indicators fitted
Dynamator fitted.
As you can see the list is very comprehensive and the total cost of the restoration has come to a little under £20k and that does not include a large element of labour. There is also the useful upgrade of a Dynamator which is effectively an alternator packaged as a Dynamo.
The end result as the pictures will show is a lovely looking MG TA in a very attractive colour combination of black with red leather. The car runs and drives as it should and provides a lively performance with the fast road cam that has been fitted.
The history files contains a thick pile of invoices relating to the restoration. The car is the perfect way to start a summer of motoring.
