Slowly coming back from the ashes...I remember seeing a London Roadster for sale a while back that was originally sold by a Buick Dealer I think. It was red with a red interior. Fun cars where ever they came from!!!
Larry Yes..mine is a perfect fit for my daily driving..do you know the origin of your LR?It appears they may have been originally sold thru GM dealers? ?? jebarry2013-03-10 16:08:49
As a former Karmann Ghia owner, it’s not uncommon to see people murder the Ghia name. Also the really can really mess up spelling Volkswagen. But I digress….I think Fiberfab were only purchased directly from Fiberfab. Were any other of our not kit cars sold through dealerships?

I don’t know if any would provide the running gear, but I know they’d help their customers find one…

Early FF TDr on 69 VW pan
Slowly coming back from the ashes...I’ve always liked the Shay roadster, sold through Ford which has a lot of parts in common with our Ford based MG’s, (but it’s not an MG)

He got it from a friend who bought it for his wife at the Charlotte Auto Fair . I do not know where it was sold originally.
Larry
Luckily ..the previous owner in Lynchburg VA had kept all the documentation/paper work from the original owner and dealer for my LR..and thanks to all the info from everyone here in the forum I have learned a lot about our cars..I have to say I have become very attached to my MGTDr with all the trials and tribulations “we” have gone thru.Mine certainly isn’t a perfect reproduction but I love her as only a MGTDr owner could.cheers
