I interpreted your "MGTD/C" reference as meaning a TD or TC. My
apologies, but it's unusual to see the Mark II refered to as a "TD/C".
Yes, if you're talking about a late example of a TD Mark II, then
according to *some* factory parts books a grab bar was standard. I don't
have a picture I can send, but it was mounted on the facia just under the
scuttle, and was curved to match the curve of the scuttle. It did not
have an MG emblem, if I remember correctly.
