Hello everyone. My name is John Patten and I am a relatively recent owner of a 1953 MG TD. Back in the late 60's I was the proud owner of two MGA 1600s. Didn't own them simultaneously, rather consecutively. My uncle owned an MG TF back then and, as a young man, I truly lusted after his car but, when I finally decided (some 60 years later) to buy one of the T's...I settled on the '53 MG TD and I am excited about having the new toy. The new toy, incidentally, that I "broke" within three hours of getting it off the covered transport. That's another story; however, let's just say it has been in the shop getting an engine rebuilt for the last several months.
Regardless, as the weather turns much nicer here in Indiana, I have been told I am not too far away from getting my TD back and, once that occurs, I'll see what other damage I can inflict. I will tell you, my wife moved me to the basement after I broke my toy! LOL (not really, but she gets a kick out of telling everyone the "story" and my (to this point) very short enjoyment of the TD.
Look forward to connecting and hope everyone is safe and well.
