Clearly my mistakes about the seat heater and Silver Dawn engine displacements has caused some excitement. Many thanks to all who have pointed it out so clearly. Who knew that the heater was so effective that even a mention can make people hot around the collar...

Wonderful car and nicely presented. Best from Switzerland from an owner of a 1951 Mulliner MkVI and a 1953 R-Type. I have owned every model up to 1996 of RR and B and came back to MkVI and R-Type, manual gearbox change both, because they are the best of all after War models! 😊

The heater under the seat was for the whole car. Complete BS that it was a seat heater. You weren't even thought of when I had to sit in the back seat freezing while the front passengers got a modicum of heating.
@JSDesignHK 8 күн бұрын
Friendly correction: the engine capacity for the Mark VI and Silver Dawn was the same. Only the carburettors were different. Also, you are referring to the interior heater, it is not a seat heater, as the handbook will confirm. Lastly, the car should be started in second gear, again the handbook will confirm that.

I love all models of the MGT cars and have owned many of them over the years. My first car was a MGTD given me in a very poor state back in 1969. However I went the last 35 years without a MGTD. So as soon as I could I purchased a very nice MGTF RHD project that is mostly dismantled and is awaiting restoration in my workshop. Soon after that I found and purchased a gorgeous fully restored MGTF about 7 months ago. Most recently I purchased a very nice MGTD that had been cosmetically restored some years ago but still presents very well. So now I own three of these classic MGs and enjoy driving the MGTF and the MGTD as often as I can. I am 70 now so there is no time to lose.

I would be wrenching on it as much as I can to get her back on the road! Myself I am doing a Triumph Spitfire 1500 and have plans to have it going by May. Just subbed and cant wait to see more!

@bladerunner6282 6 ай бұрын
will be interested in whether or not that is enough movement in the piston to do the job. i suspect that it isn't. but hoping it is. BTW, didn't see any adjustment mechanism for the shoes...curious.
@Rust_in_Time 6 ай бұрын
No, alas that certainly won't be enough movement to engage the shoes properly. There is still plenty of air in the system, and I'm working on getting a rebuilt master cylinder as a safety measure. Well spotted with the lack of adjustment mechanism - they are supposedly "self-adjusting" according to Triumph, but in reality this just means they bind all the time! No wonder the Roadsters had a reputation for hesitant performance...

i too, housed my first car, a '61 MGA bought in 1970, in an old wooden garage. the garage was most likely built, initially, to shelter the family carriage. as the adjacent lean-to looked a lot like a horse stable. ...always a process getting it in and out.

I assume you have tried the Triumph Roadster club? Otherwise I would have a metal fabrication shop weld one out of non-ferrous alloy or stainless steel.

Hi, can you tell me where you got your rebuild kit from? Someone has used gasket seal and thread lock on mine. Thanks
@Rust_in_Time 8 ай бұрын
I actually just made the gaskets myself with the correct gauge gasket paper. I'd suggest writing to the club if you need a full kit but usually fixed jet carburettors don't require as much maintenance as say SUs do. Best of luck!

I made a video on how to clean a fuel line on my TD. Ran into the exact same issues, however I used Berryman chem 12 carb cleaner (US). Maybe you have an equivalent in Australia. I also let it soak for a bit. After a while it worked. Good luck 🍀

It was washed out with kerosene and then left to sit with rust removing solution. See the video of the Triumph Roadster’s tank for the process, although that one was much worse and needed rocks to grind off the rust.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the RR color is not canary, but what was known at the time as Mandaran yellow. Bit of trivia, the Waterman fountain pen from the period was available in Mandarin yellow and that pen today is one of the most collectable. Nice presentation. Thank you. (My British friend tells me you speak with a distinct RP. Are you from GB?)
@Rust_in_Time Жыл бұрын
Thank you, that's very interesting, I didn't know that 'Mandarin' was the RR name for the colour. I was simply referring to the colour as 'canary yellow' being a common reference for that bright yellow. And yes, I do originate from 'The Old Country'! Glad you enjoyed the video, plenty more to come!
