Extensively reworked TD in CA.

Worth reading the write-up on BaT where this car is currently for sale, with the builder engaging in an extensive Q&A.
Several commentators seem nervous at the power in a short wheelbase, but surely that's rather the point?

The TD has a 3" longer wheelbase than an MGB and nobody seems concerned about that combo, I have 535 hp in my 91" MGB.

Yes, and the TR4/5/6/ is 88".
Some people just like to find things to cluck about. And then, many youngsters have never driven a 'proper' car without all the electronic and safety gizmos.

At this rate it won't sell. $7,231 bid for a car that must have absorbed hundreds of hours.
