    Who made this kit? Doesn’t look like a Fiberfab (early or late) to me…

    Considering calling on this one to see how complete it is, since no small parts are visible. Could be a good candidate to “part out” if I could get it at a decent price. Anyone see anything they need?

    Not sure who made the kit. Although it does have the classic hump on the forward portion of the rear fender next to the running board I have never seen any kit with a dash like that. I don’t see anything I need but if you get a list of included parts from him let me know what parts he has. It’d be nice to have a speedo to match mine with the MPH the outer numbers and the KPH the inner numbers. Mine is just the opposite. I know 50 KPH is roughly 30 MPM from my days stationed in Japan.

    looks like one of the migi kits, by the hole in the front of the grille, to me.

    The front splashpan area doesn’t look like a FF Migi I or II to me…

    I’m so new to these that I don’t really know, just guessing by the look of the grille

    The hole in the bottom of the grill shell is where the manual cranking handle for the original MG was inserted.  IMO, that just means it’s a reproduction MG grille shell, which rules out the Daytona Migi, I think.

    Kent’s right. The no hole grill rules out Daytona MIGI and London Roadster.

    Except for the dash, that there looks a lot like a Duchess.

    The grill is definitely a reproduciton TD grill. The grill alone is almost worth the asking price!

    My thoughts exactly Paul…

    Am I looking at it wrong, or is that a RHD dashboard?

    It’s LHD but it’s upside down.
