Hi Bob,
I was also at Hershey, it is the biggest....50+ years and counting, 9,500 vendors, thousands of cars, 200k folk, all looking at 'guy' stuff. Like you, I found a lot of T stuff, not a lot compared to USA stuff, but enough that most was bought quickly by Europeans looking for parts since much of it was imported here in the first place. The 33 L-type MG at $200k was wonderful!
The car market did have a couple of TDs, one the correct cream color but way overdone with chrome, including horns, fan blade, generator, extra running board ribbing on the front fenders etc, but at $30k, still viable. The other was a nice red TD, went for $24k. Missed the show on Sat, the TA Tickford due to the rain, and an 8 hour drive home.......
The weather was crazy....87 and humid on Wed, Rain Thurs, then 40 degrees and winter coats on Fri.....but did pick up a mint TC for $5.....a model of course!
Cheers, Lee Jacobsen, Dearborn, MI TA2969 Tickford.

I went to the big Antique Car Swap Meet and Show at Hershey PA this past weekend - probably the biggest antique car event in the world. While there were not a lot of TC items available, I was able to pick up an excellent ring and pinion set from a list member who was set up on the field, and a rebuildable rear shock/link assembly. Other TC items spotted included a rough but restorable set of TC fenders, a rough seat back, assorted tools and trouble lights, original rear axles, and a few wheels. There were quite a few TD and TF parts on sale. The show included a TA Tickford, PA, TC, three TFs, an MGA, and several MGBs. Nothing T-series in the car market.
The ring and pinion made the trip worth it - I have a spare engine and TC tranny - the only major mechanic item I didn't have was the rear axle set.
