@kc
I agree with sami

@dare_devil
I had a similar car, a 1980 730 series. My car was in very good condition inside and out except that engine oil and water started mixing together, two attempts to fix that failed and I sold the car as is where is though it was in running condition. The car was fully loaded and functional....I sold it for 125,000/-. The guy who bought it put a diesel engine and later struggled to sell it for 200,000/-. Just thought i'd share this infor with you.

May Allah give you speedy recovery Mr KC. Well some sort of incident of lower extent happened to me, as when I was going home with my family there is a coure driver bumped me, After I argued with him he shown me the gun and told me to backoff .

THIS DATES BACK TO 1984 - MY MG TD IF I MAY CALL IT THAT. SOON AFTER THIS PIC WAS TAKEN, I ASSEMBLED THE TD MYSELF, BOUGHT A PACKET OF NO. 12 EMRY PAPER AND CLEANED THE CAR DOWN TO BARE METAL....THEN PUT THICK OIL ON IT TO PREVENT IT FROM RUSTING WHILE I WAS GONE FOR STUDIES TO USA. ON THE DAY OF THE DEPARTURE, MY FATHER TOLD ME TO CALL A KABARI AND GIVE HIM THE CAR...MY UNCLE WHO WAS VISITING FROM UK REMARKED THAT EVEN THE KABARI WOULDN'T BUY IT. I BET THEM I COULD SELL IT ON ONE PHONE CALL FOR TWICE THE AMOUNT WHAT I PAID FOR IT (WHICH WAS Rs.4,000/-). I called late Admiral Zamir Ahmed and he sent me cash payment in 20 minutes - Rs.8,000/-. Good 'ol days.

[buksh]

Its a nice pic and a fantastic story

[mohsinikram]

@buksh
I love T series MG. I bought this car back after Admiral Zamir died but this car was not in my qismat. I was restoring it and somebody stole the bonnet. Those were non-internet non mobile phone days. I wrote to different MG parts suppliers but none had a bonnet. I was so hard broken that I sold the car to a friend who I though would restore it but hasn't touched it yet in 15 years. He is not selling.

[buksh]

I am sure. But have you sourced the bonnet now or no? You never know when you get lucky.

[buksh]

For the Mercedes restoration.
In this thread i posted the numbers for the baba know as baba mercedes. You will have to look for the numbers from there. Wont be able to help as i am not in Pakistan these days

[mohsinikram]

@buksh
Almost bought another TD, a complete one this time. Brought it home, it was in my garage and it looked beautiful despite being in a very bad condition. The owner sort of back tracked due to some misunderstanding on the price and I returned the car. One day Inshallah I 'll get hold of a TC.

@mohsinbhai

[mohsinikram]
