Vehicle Description

NO RESERVE-IF YOU ARE THE HIGHEST BIDDER THIS BEAUTY IS YOURSThis is an opportunity to get into the seat of a vintage race car, fully sorted and ready to go-this 1951 TD was set up for racing in 2016 (has log book) and raced in many events including Roebling, Pittsburgh, COTA through 2018. COVID put a damper on racing and the previous owner has hung up his spurs. The car would be fun at track days or could be easily converted to an awesome street machine.The car has addressed many of TDs problems-lack of power-after installing a Ford V-60 the builder decided to switch to a TR 3 engine and transmission-plenty of power-comparable weight. He also addressed braking issues-installed MGB disc brakes with updated suspension components-shocks, sway bar, A arms. Then he went all out-car has an fire suppression system, fuel cell, custom dash, aluminum radiator, Tilton brake system, hard wired transponder, bomber seat, Brooklands wind screen, new 72 spoke wire wheels (MGB hubs) with new Dunlop vintage race tires plus an unused spare wheel and tire and a really well built roll bar. Car has a Florida title and is currently registered for the street. Although not installed, it has headlights mounted on bracket.Why am I parting with this gem? I think the best answer is I am getting too old (78) to haul around the country having fun. I also have several other toys which need my attention. Other than some stone chips, the body cleans up very smartly. The car needs only routine prep for the track (check and/or replace fluids) I would flush the brake fluid because the car has been sitting for six years (brakes work and pedal is hard) It will need updated seat belts for some race organizations. Car is in Orlando and I will help with transporting. Questions? Please ask. I have priced the car so that a newer member joining the world of vintage racing can enter without a second mortgage. I have raced TDs forever (see article attached) and the vintage members are great. I am restoring a TD and my other race car is being prepped for the season.
