Key word, my man: BOGUS.
I read a story once wherein a TD replica owner showed up at a British car show and was waved through the gate to enter. “It’s a German spy,” he told the uncomprehending dude-at-the-gate.Supposedly won an award. -

Yes Ed, bogus British something. But not muscle.The muscles behind these bogus Brits are American, German and Japanese. 😉

I’d go $1,000. If he’d deliver.
Basically, this is Bill Ascheman’s car, de-tuned. Or a nice load of spares for Bill! -

Yes, let’s once again flex our bogus British muscle, stand tall for the Allies, stiff upper lip & all that rot. 🙂

Or just add seats and drive it on Daytona Beach.
Yeah, gee, I didn’t pay much more for my completed car; including top with boot, side curtains and tonneau cover. Gratefully so.And to think that price is actually less than a new kit was 25 years ago without the donor car.Maybe someone will eventually get it for several grand just to have fun… -

Looks like A LOT of work! No gauges, interior, etc. so needs more MONEY, too!
I paid $300 dollars MORE for my COMPLETE LR and drove it from Chicago to Champaign, IL the next day.:cool:But if you’re looking for a challenge, GO FOR IT!

Hi Ed — I did keep the transmission. According to the build sheet from the PO, it is a “TRANSWEST VW TYPE 1” which tells me absolutely nothing about the transmission —
So I’m not sure about the transmission. But the engine (and transmission I think) were built for and installed in a Mud Rail prior to the owner getting sick of riding in the… -

Great story, Jack. My only regret is that we never got to drag race. Pretty sure you’d have beat me, but one never knows!
Guessing you kept the transmission. Any idea what’s in that? To stand up to the 2332, it’s probably well-beefed up. What RPM were you running at 60 mph in 4th? -
edward ericson replied to the topic Carlisle 2016 – IMPORTANT UPDATES in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 7 months ago
Probably Saturday–but that’s “banquet day” with the whole Speedster ensemble. In recent years we’ve done a TD-only meet at Richard Wobby’s camper. Dude is awesome, as is his wife. If they don’t make it we should still continue the tradition somehow.

Hey Kentt,
I can’t take credit for the rear tin design — it came with the car and the 2332cc engine — sold the engine — kept the tin.But all that said, we did pay good attention to installing all the tin, including the thermostat and the flappers in the fan shroud as well as the Hoover Bit around the oil cooler tin. Hope it makes a di… -

Both Daytona and London Roadster have shorter grills. I can’t tell that this grill is or is not short.
