Russ, you have a nice car and keep it! If it has the 1500 motor don't let it go since they made only a few of them. Very rare. I have a 1954 MG TF #1414 / 30748 that has been in the family since 1957. Color is birch grey with red interior. My grandpa saw an ad in the paper and went and bought from a dealer in RI. This is a GI purchased car from Germany to the States. This has the Nuffield – Products CHR ODENDAHL FRANKFURT /M TEL 64336 dealer badge on the right side hood bonnet. Back in those days after the War to help with Great Britain’s economy which was in shambles they marketed to the GI's stationed in Germany these inexpensive two seater convertibles. To increase exports and to appeal to the American’s they added a little extra chrome and white wall tires which it always had since 1957. GI's could have them shipped to the States and it cost them practically nothing. I am in the process of restoring and when I am not reading the PGCA forum, I am on EBay searching for parts!!

Safety Fast!

Charlie - You're making my head hurt! I crewed on a 38 Chevy business coupe B Gasser in 1959/60. Small block bored and stroked. At the end, had an Isky roller and Hilborn Injection

Charlie - Grew up in Delaware and raced in NJ and Southeast Pa.

Car was owned by a rich kid, who hired Harold Ramsey, the National stock winner in '57 and '58 to drive for him. Had another man, George Weiler, of Birdsboro, Pa who was the mechanic.

Their names were shown on the side of the car as: "Spender", "Bender" and "Mender"
