You may also try your local Craig’s List. I have seen several of these TDr cars for sale in the Tampa Bay Area. Prices any where from $4800 to $6800, for a quick sale. You are probably are a little low at $4800, ask your $5500, and negotiate down to a win, win price. Have you put it up for sale on Samba as well? If it driveable, I have always put…[Read more]

Your efforts are appreciated!! I have not had any problems, even though I use an iPad. Both your’s and Paul’s efforts and skills are awesome.DaveLakeland, Fl

John,Thank you very much for the eBay idea.Now I feel dumb :?Sometimes the answers are right in front of us, but we just don’t look  🙂

Bill, if you absolutely must sell your car — you might want to try listing it with Hemmings Motor News as an alternative to a real TD.  At the price you are asking (you are entirely too reasonable) you might attract someone who otherwise would buy a real TD but is scared of the British car maintenance/repair issue.  You also might try eBay.  …[Read more]

As to how they were built…When a Chevette and an MG TD love eachother very very much…

Thanks Stephen, for all your work! We all appreciate the work youre doing to improve the TDR.com experience. With all the new members, the improved web site and a Flux Compasator on back order, our devious plans to rule the world are right on schedule! ❗

ricrx7 – I agree.  I plan a use a more modern engine..I also like the idea of a Volvo engine. I owned several back in the 70s and 80s and I found them to be very reliable. I have located a 1985 low-milage one (for a Volvo) 4-speed with overdrive, but I am a little apprehensive about tackling the older fuel injection.  I just might try backdating t…[Read more]

Tom – I happen to have just acquired a Volvo powered MGTD and am in the process of bringing it back to life after 30 some years in storage.  I also have a Chevette powered replica.  If you do a front engine vehicle, I would not use the Chevette.  It was the first GM all metric engine and nothing else GM fits the engine or transmission.  It is on…[Read more]

I have had no issues at all.  The change seems to have been seamless.  Thanks for all your excellent work.

Very nice looking car.  Those of us with front engine BCW cars have little info on how they were built.  If any of your documents have sections or info on the Chevette BCW, copies of that would be much appreciated.  And welcome to the site.  The members here are the best.

Doesnt OSHA have rules against showng up to work lookin that styyylinnn? 😎

Thank you guys very much!  I only wish I had a lab, and if everything goes the way I have it in mind, next year there will be at least a 40×60 building be erected in my yard.  My lovely wife agreed to it last year but then we discovered a baby would be making way into our lives so we decided to hold off a year.  

A successful trip! Nice

I’ve been reading his forum he made for chevettes.I’m the type to read and research before I post about stuff.but if you do remove all of that stuff go with a 32/36 weber.that’s what I about to switch to.I’ve been having problems with hot starts and the smoothness of acceleration.fine art low throttle and at wot but it because the second barrel…[Read more]

From what we’re reading about you, it seems that your Grand Father’s skills have been passed on to you. I’m a huge James Bond fan and I think we should nick name You Q and your garage Q Lab!

I’m really enjoying this thread. I can’t believe the great stuff you found with your car. I wish I had half of what you’ve got! Keep the stories and pictures coming! 

HOW COOL IS THAT!!! 

Here’s grandpa’s briefcase that he did the leatherwork on.  I’m finding out more and more about him and his skills.  He was a barber, a leathersmith, sold insurance, and finally a Rep for British Coach Works prior to his death.  And inside of it…Again, once we get a rainy day I’ll scan most everything I have to share with you folks.

I love that story.
