A thread similar to this started up on the Speedster Owners Forum…
How old is the typical TD replica owner?

I’m 53 now.
But I built my Duchess when I was 24.

Paul, did you volunteer to tally this all up? Not sure if I should participate in this query, but I’m 70 1/2. Starting to realize why women are so secretive about their age. Who will I be able to talk to at Carlisle?? I’ll have to tell stories of the good old days.
I took my heads off today. Gonna be a 1600sp soon.
My first replica was a birthday present 27 Sept 2011.
Sure Roy…I’ll do the math!
No worries, I saw 72, a few 73’s and a 75 on the speedster forum!

I’m 64 and purchased my unbuilt kit Oct 2010. The kit is still unbuilt…sort of. Working the chassis at the moment.

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackWell then your welcome for bringing the average age down a few. I love these cars and my 5 year old actually says its his so maybe that will help too.
I’ll be 69 in mid March, still just a little kid stuck inside an older body. Wanted a TD ever since I first saw one maybe 50-55 years ago. Bought mine in June ’11, rebuilt the engine (1600DP), new brakes, tires, top, radio (why?, can’t hear it anyway), redid a lot of the wiring. A lot of fun for the money, both driving and tinkering. And hopefully will not be any more money.

We just enjoy driving this beauty..Ooh! OOh! John….use the dog to bring down out average age!

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackAllen -great idea! Pudge is 7 and her sisiter Sally is 7 too .The TD is for the girls to enjoy as much as it is for me!
46. Bought her in 2009. But I look & feel at least 55.
John, did you check your lower hinge pin lately on that passenger door?
I?ll be 52 in a couple of months but my wife say?s that I act more like a teenager than a parent. Could it be I have to many toys ?
first TD in 2010 (unbuilt )
second TD Aug 2011

58, I think…..always have to do the math….yep, 58…..I still have to do the
alphabet song to get stuff in the right order…and most of my exercise is
getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom….my knees
buckle but my belt won’t….all the names in my little black book have M.D.
after them…..still, it’s all good…
I’m 68 & 11/12 ths. and am currently recovering from a total knee replacement (2 wks ago), but I have two cars-“Mellow-Yellow” a Fiberfab V-Dub, 1600 dp. and the “Cardinal, front enigined Ford 2000. According to my convoluted math that only makes me 29 &11/24 per car. And that isn’t counting my 46 Chev pickup (work in progress), 68 Chevy Impalla convertable, 92 Ranger and 94 Itasca motorhome. Forgot Dodge Magnum. Hell, I may not be old enough to drive.
