This hand built replicar of a 1952 MGTD was assembled by the owner in 1984. It was built over eleven months taking over 460 hours. It has a lot of additional quality enhancements that many other replicars do not have observable by just looking at the photos and comparing the build quality. The car has attended numerous car shows in the area and has won over thirty trophies over several years. The car is in impeccable condition having always been garaged, detailed and never run in the rain or cold weather. The chassis, a 1970 VW, was purchased from an auto remanufacturer with a completely rebuilt engine. The car is great fun motoring in the countryside and attending car shows. It has a Clean Connecticut Title in Seller’s name. The exterior is finished in white with a chrome Grill, brown interior, top, side curtains and tonneau cover.
This White MGTD has the right look, from the flowing fenders to the cut-down doors to the rear-mounted spare tire, it's going to fool a lot of people. Unlike a lot of replicas, this one has the correct proportions and doesn't have that home-made look. Instead, it's nicely finished and very cleanly rendered, with beautiful gel coat paint. The details, include a nicely shaped grille, bucket headlights, and running lights and mirrors atop the front fenders. Simple bumpers, unique British-looking taillights, and the rear mounted spare tire all contribute to the old-world vibe this car gives off. For the price, you probably can't get more 2-seat fun.
