I like Paul’s suggestion “Yes.it’s a real Car” as the slogan … after all, what is life without a sense of humor?

Plowing old ground here, but Fiberfab has their logo embossed into the “firewall” on the passenger side, and it includes a serial number which is embossed as well.  If you run into (if?) registration problems, and have purchased a Fiberfab product during a lapse in judgement, you can obtain an ID plate to your specs from their…[Read more]

Slogram,
Classic Roadsters provided a serial number plate, which the manual said should be riveted to the front of the “firewall” on the driver’s side. Of course, it’s only going to be there if the builder of the car chose to rivet it in.
I do not know what the BCW or any other manufcturers did, if anything.
Paul

Slogram,
I agree with the comments re theBCW.
Classic Roadsters’ Duchess was in the same league. except for the windshield frame, most of the hardware was reproduction MG TD pieces.
I built my Duchess in 1983 and she’s still running and looking great.

Replacement Parts:

For most other items, you are limited to two companies, MG Magic in FL ( no website see info below) or Prototype Research i…[Read more]

Slogram,
 
Brian is right on the money.  I have a Fiberfab kit myself and I have been throwing away and replacing junk parts ever since I started (re)building it.  A BCW kit, if quality is a concern, will save you a lot of money in the long run because you won’t be paying current Moss Motors prices for all the parts you will wish to replace.  My k…[Read more]

Hi,

Unfortunately many replicar companies cut corners using parts
such as the lights that were not authentic MGTD. I do not want
to be critical of any of the other kits, since beauty is truly in the
eye of the beholder, especially when it comes to a car that you
built yourself and put your heart and soul into.   Rather, I would
recommend that yo…[Read more]
