As I understand the story the original owner Mr. Goldstein gifted the car to his son in law in January1966 while living in Hartford Connecticut. His son in law was living in West Haven Connecticut at that timebut subsequentlymoved to Texas shortly thereafter.After moving to Texas the car was kept stored in doors and only taken out on rare occasions. In 2015 the familyof the son in law asked a dealer friend in Princeton Texas to sell the car on . That's when the car came into my friends possession. Since my friend purchased the car he has driven her occasionally about twice a month and always after being serviced on a regular basis.She has always been stored in doors and is rock solid. This is a true fine if your looking for an originalMG TD in near originalcondition.
