A friend of mine has recently acquired a 52 MG TD missing some vital bits (like engine, transmission, and instruments). I'm in Florida and he's in Minnesota and not a real MG guy. In any event, I asked for the serial number just to try to find out when the car was made and he sent back the Type 22381 and Body Number of 4426-60843. I know the Type number is correct and while I wait for him to find the real serial number, I'm curious as to whether anyone can tell me what on earth the Body Number is or means. I can find little mention in any of the references conveniently at hand. Looking through the T Register, I find nothing like it on any of the data.
BTW, he's thinking of putting a Mazda Miata engine in it but would sell it to me and I'd put an XPAG engine/trans in if I can find one. Any help out there on either issue? Thanks
