I recently bought TC 0947,Xpag 1560 in the VS ( through E&R classics in
Kaatsheuvel , the Netherlands) and I plan to start restoration of the car
after delivery in march. The car is now dark blue with a tan interior but
after restoration it will be black with a green interior.
I am of course interested in the history of the car

who writes:

My TA was rebuilt from a basket case in 1996/7 for racing rather than a
road car although it is road legal but not very nice to drive on the
road.
It was fitted with an XPAG 1250cc bored out to 1350cc and I now run an
XPEG 1500 engine .When the car was imported the original engine was
missing.
The engine number from the original build production record was MPJG
2718 chassis no.TA2489 build date 21 June 1938.
