| John Hawkesworth purchased this TD whilst in the process of restoring a TF on the basis that the two models were so similar that lessons learned on the TF would be easily applied to the TD. Restoration took 2 years and was completed in 1998. The engine was rebuilt by Ray Skewes and the gearbox was reconditioned by John Needham. Details on this car/owner were supplied by his friend Peter Howe.
When purchased by Ray Blythe the Reg No was QAT 036, which has been subsequently changed to TD 5346.
Car offered for sale in The Age, Dec 8th 2001, asking price $26,500. |
