>>Thanks to a string of unfortunate events that does not merit boring or
shocking you with, my TD/C and TC will probably soon be liquidated through
John Massa  in Nashville,
>>possibly at "give-away" prices.
>>
>>He is not on the web, but can be reached at 800-394-1742.
>>
>>The '51 TD MKII was my first restoration in '74-75, with much help from
local club members (Sorry Safari Touring Society of the NEMGTR).   was "Best
in Class" at GOF-west
>>in Olympia, WA ('75 or '76) and second in the Premier class at Vail.
>>
>>Has been primarily a week-end tourer since ~'81, but has never failed to
place in car shows in ~150 mile radius.
>>
>>Clipper Blue, tan interior (not really "biscuit"), WIRE-WHEELS (I don't
want to argue if these were available on Mark II's, after over 20 years the
arguments are still non-conclusive), louvered bonnet, and all of the usual
MKII standard and optional features.  Engine, carbs, brakes rebuilt in last
3-4 years.  Rust-free.  Probably too nice to re-restore. reliable.   My
favorite car of over 50 MG's, A-H's, Lotuses, Jags, Ferraris, R-R,
Bentleys, etc. I've owned. Probably because it was the first.
>>
>>
>>The '48/49 TC is an AACA Senior and multiple Preservation winner. Third
place in AACA Grand Nationals, Huntsville '96.
>>
>>Red, biscuit, all authentic as a '48 and registered as a '48 though VIN
shows it to be built in '49 (TC 7618).  About 200 miles since total
restoration 4-5 years ago.  Usually trailered.  Not perfect, but honest 95+
point car.
>>
>>Others available include black Ferrari 330 GT 2+2, Twice FCA national
winner ('89 & '93), Cavallino Classic Winner ('93), AACA Senior/multiple
Preservation/2nd Grand National, cover of Cavallino  #57, etc.  Restored by
Doug Pirrone of Berlinetta Motorcars of Huntington station, NY.   Probably a
~$300k car during the "insanity", now 
>>forced liquidation.
>>
>>'79 Ferrari 308 GT/4, white, ~35k miles, mildly track modified for FCA
events, fast, not  restored, cosmetically a little rough.
>>
>>'64 Ferrari 250 GT/Lusso, needs reassembly after many year full
professional restoration.  Silver, Black interior, RHD.  Second place AACA
national in Carlsbad, Ca  ('92?) before partial disassembly  to correct oil
leaks and redetail chassis.  Should be one of the best when finished.
>>
>>'81 GMC one car enclosed transporter with sleeper.  Fresh 454.
>>
>>Forced liquidation.  I'd rather have been killed in a racing accident.
Don't contact me, I no longer have control of or access to the cars.
