Upper Darby is right around the corner from where I live.  I may have to go take a look at it.

The “slats” in that grille look very similar to the ones on my Lafer TI. I’ve been thinking of painting them, to make them stand out a bit from the black mock radiator shell. Any suggestions? The car itself is black, with a black top and tan interior. Wheels are alloy, with the centers painted a coppertone gold that matches a very subtle gold pinstripe here and there, and picks up faint flecks of gold under the top four coats of clear lacquer.

Yes, I’m aware of that, but I’m not overly concerned with being “authentic” as the Lafer isn’t — strictly speaking — an MG-TD replica. Too many differences, large and small. It does share a style and a spirit with the TD, I think, but painting the slats to match the interior (which is very close to the color of the wheels and pin-striping) might be too much of a good thing. It might be hard to picture, but my TI has no chrome anywhere — not the bumpers, the turn signals, the windscreen, the gauge bezels. All black. When I first bought it, in 2007, I thought I’d change all that up and add some brightwork. The longer I’ve driven it, though, the more I like the way it is, at least for the most part. It’s just that the slats beg to be set off from the rest of that black front end. Right now I’m considering a light gunmetal gray. We’ll see. Thanks for the link, though. Good reading.

I posted some when I joined the club, but I don’t think the gallery is back online yet. I’ll try to post a couple from another website. Have done quite a bit to it since finding it in a barn outside Montgomery, Texas, though: new top, interior, engine, exhaust, tires, brakes, mirrors. Finish and wheels are original.

I bought it. Good to know it is a Migi II I was wondering who the manufacturer was.

I stand corrected. in one of the photos of the gas tank in the listing it clearly shows a MIGI manufacturer plate. Wonder why I didn’t see that before?

Next time I drive down to Carl’s to get an ice cream I’ll let you know and maybe we can get together.

I am quite certain that only Daytona and Fiberfab used the name MIGI.
