TD. Probably a 53. Wires didn't show up on TDs until after 52.

Doug is right. TDs and TCs look better with their fenders on.

I wish we could get a tonneau like that for our S.

I'm not sure what engine is in that car. Look at the motor. You can see the number 800 cast in the block. I wonder if it is an 1800 cc MGB motor that has been transplanted.

I think Miata makes one like that. Brits were more utilitarian and practical.

This past Thursday I installed a tonneau on my new MGA. It was pretty nerve-racking since I had to install all the snaps before cutting the holes in the tonneau. It ment drilling 6 holes in the back of the body and 12 holes in the front. No room for error. It came out great - thank goodness.
