Classic Roadsters Ltd. Duchess (VW Based)
Windshields – Not a folding windshield. As an option, they sold covers for the sides of the frame to give them the look of a folding frame.
Front grill – Reproduction MG TD grill and slats. On a VW, grill is still open so you “see through it”.
Hood (Bonnet) – Opens from driver’s side, external hinges and clasps. Could easily be built to open from passenger side.
Roof/Curtains – Two hoop roof, single layer top and zip-on side curtains. Curtains have an additional zipper to allow access to toll booths and to attach the curtains after you are in the car.
Dash – Walnut. Not “original style”.
Dimensions – Approximately a half inch bigger in all major dimensions. Also has a small bump out in front of the rear fenders, over the rear torsion tubes.
Seat – Bench seat bottom and back. Original has a one piece seat back and separate seats. Seats, door panels and side panels are vinyl. Pretty standard low pile carpet on floor, center tunnel and storage behind seat. A nice little touch, the shifter cover is sewn into the carpet.
Door Latches – Interior and Exterior – Reproduction originals
Door Hinges – Reproduction originals
Head Light Supports -Reproduction originals. (some kits use flat steel)
Fender lights – Reproduction originals
Tail Lights – VW. Rear fenders molded for the VW shape.
Bumpers – Reproduction originals. Classic Roadsters also provided the correct front bumper, with the center hole for the crank start.
Steering Column – Fully enclosed within the body, but exposed in the front trunk. I built an enclosure for the left side of the trunk to prevent luggage from interfering with the column.
Spare Tire Mount – Steel bracket mounted under the engine cover, bolted to the z-bars supporting the engine cover.
Engine Cover – Z-bars are hinged at the bottom, engine cover tilts back from the top, providing great access to the VW engine. Easily removable, only two bolts, if you need to remove it completely.
License Plate Mount – Flat aluminum, not original style.
Fuel Tank – Custom ten gallon tank shaped to fit front, right floor pan ahead of “firewall”. Allows for a sizable, flat floor trunk under the hood. Fuel filler runs through the grill and up to the “radiator cap” which makes for much fun when in a strange gas station!
Wheel Covers – Classic Roadsters Ltd. provided wire wheel covers. I replaced them with chrome caps to look like TD caps.
Heat/Defroster – Stock VW heater boxes, and control. Heat comes out under the seat and is MORE than sufficient. Windshield defroster is an electric blower only. to circulate warm cockpit air. It will clear a foggy windshield, it will not de-ice.
Weight – I believe about 1500 pounds.

Wheel Covers – Dog-dish type (VW) hubcaps with Octagon “BCW” emblems. Both VW and Chevy versions use four-lug, 15 x 5(?) slotted VW wheels.Heat: Stock VW type heat, supposed to use the channels along door (some use tunnel instead. No defrost or fan on the windshield. (As original).
Fuel Tank – VW: original VW tank mounted high in luggage space, no exterior fuel filler. Approximately six cubic feet of luggage space under bonnet. False tank in rear looks close to original in size, has a decorative flip-top fuel filler. CHEV: small tank behind seats, fuel filler plumbed from TD location on false tank, which serves as a tiny “trunk.”
Weight – VW: (advertised) 1575 lbs.

Found something else different with the Fiberfab kits. The front fiberglass in front of the grill is part of each fender. Other models have a fiberglass insert in front of the grill between the fenders and bolts in place with four bolts. Not sure which manufacturer uses the insert in front of the grill between the fenders.
Allen Caron

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackAllen,
That is true only for the the later FiberFab kits, like the one below. Early FF kits used a single nose piece that included the fiberglass grill shell, and it bolted to each fender as you describe.
PMOSSBERG2015-02-22 13:46:15Early FF TDr on 69 VW pan
Slowly coming back from the ashes...Classic Roadsters Duchess is one that has an insert between the front fenders.
When I get a chance, I’ll take the comments from the recent posts and update the respective manufacturer posts.PMOSSBERG2013-04-17 11:55:58

Paul, it may be interesting to include a Suspension breakdown in the listings above. In my listing, Daytona MiGi suspension is stock ball joint IRS VW Beetle, front and rear. Stock VW replacement 650×15″ tires. No front end ballast was added at the factory?? (This does not describe my car, rather it is how my car was when I got it.)
All posts NOT related to the manufacturer comparison have been deleted.
Just one example…you want to talk about folding windshields? Then please start a thread about folding windshields.A place for everything…and everything in it’s place.Thanks guys and gals.PMOSSBERG2013-06-19 11:36:47

Interesting comments on the FiberFab Migi and Migi II, copied from another thread.
HappyJack wrote:
I was talking the other day with some friends about my FF MIGI-II and the question came up about the differences between the MIGI and MIGI-II. I emailed MG MAGIC and posed that question. Here’s the response from Brad Anderson:
The differences:
The earlier cars had a fiberglass grill shell that was a one piece affair that incorporated the front splash panel as part of the piece. The metal grill was optional and could be fit over the fiberglass.
Cars that had this grill had two major differences:
1) The steering column exited the left side panel and was clearly visible then tucked under the left side of the splash panel.
2) The front left fender was different and you have molds for all of the different parts.
The later cars had a separate front splash panel and the front fender was elevated so the steering extension was not visible as it came through the side panel. The grill was a much simpler affair and the metal grill was standard. Thanks, BAKentT replied:
I think the engine lid is slightly different also. I know that I cannot get my engine lid to fit flush to both the body tub and the rear splash pan at the same time. It looks more like an original TD’s gas tank, which did not fit flush to the splash pan either. I think the shape of the engine lid on the Migi II may have been changed to close the gap between the rear of the engine lid and the splash pan.

Something new for this manufacturer’s comparison thread. The door space on the body tub. Most TDrs door overlaps the opening. BUT…there is at least one manufacturer where the door fits into a cutout in the body tub allowing the door to be flush with the body. I have a picture of one and I think its a BCW but not sure. So…the next time you go out to your TDr, check it out and post your finding saying which manufacturer you have and what the door opening is like. My CMC/Fiberfab door opening is not indented to allow the door to fit flush with the body.
Allen Caron
VW based 53MGTD - "MoneyPenny"
"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackPaul, thanks for posting these comparisons. I think I’ve narrowed it down that mine is a CMC. There is a number (822399-6)stamped in the fiberglass. The front body panel is one piece, not split like some I see. The engine cover folds down for access and the bumpers have the hole for a crank.
I am looking to buy a new top (two bow) and would like guidance from the forum. Am I better off going to a local top shop (lots of them here in sunny Orange County CA) or are there online sources that do a good job and are reliable.
So far, your (the Forum) advice has been spot on and I am pleased that I have a safe drivable and fun car.
Thanks, Mike Neben
Irvine CAThe flush door is on the Allison. Very slick, nicer, more aerodynamic–though incorrect compared to an original TD

And restrictor plate racing is boring to me.
So…the picture links in this thread are now fixed. YAY!

Another useful bit of information might be what’s in the medallion at the top of the grill. Some, if not most, copy the original “MG,” whereas others have unique labels, such as the “MP” in the MP Lafer.
Not a bad idea Dave…but you really can’t rely on that to ID a car.
I’d bet many owners swap out the manufacturer’s grill badge for a reproduction MG badge.
At least that’s what I did! 😉
