    1968 VW pan, 1300cc engine, autostick…

    Looks like a Daytona, based on the grille. Build with front hinged doors, speedo and tach in center cluster, and a lot of other oddities…

    Something like the Mercedes Gazelle maybe, doors and bumpers anyway. From what little I know of those.

    Kent is spot on: the kit manufacturer was Daytona and they intended for it to be a TD replica.
    However, IMO, far too many builder “oddities” for my taste.
    Those giant black hinges gotta go.
    Sorry, but I am left with the impression that the person who assembled it had no idea of what a MGTD looked like.

    It’s what a British Stormtrooper would drive.

    I wonder if the top goes up, since the seat backs are so high. Looks like they’re the same level as the wind shield.
    I wonder where it is, since it looks like a European style license plates, but steering wheel is on the left, so you’d drive on the right side of the road.
    Not exactly my cup of tea.

    Ugh.

    Definitely a TDr; but with some bad design decisions and some non-TDr parts, like those bumpers.

    If you own a TDr and are not in the Registry, please go to https://tdreplica.com/forums/topic/mg-td-replica-registry/ and register (you need to copy and paste the link)

    That’s an understatement! Just so much wrong on this one….
