Well, things have changed. No money had changed hands and it was sold
from under her. It was a good thing as there was a lot of rust underneath
and needed a new rolling chassis. I was glad it went and she finally agreed it
was going to be a money pit. Thank you all for the information.
A tangent, web man please forgive. I found a 1934 Pace Racer kit car built
on a 1964 Volkswagen chassis. It is in much better shape than the Daytona
was. Has anyone come across this particular model, and prevailing prices?
Thank you for any information. Have a great day. H.
The car was built in Vancouver according to the owner. I am in Winnipeg. I
am told a very good top man has left the city and opened a shop in
Nanaimo. If needed, I could probably get name and address.
I have exchanged e-mails with Brad at MG Magic. They say the Daytona was
not friendly with tops and would need to have it actually there to do work. I
have found a couple of boating firms locally that would work on it in the off
season. One upholstery place was found here and we will take the car there
in May to let them have a look.
Thank you all for the help. I will continue to stop by with info, plus or minus.
I have put up some pictures I took today. I wanted you to have a look and
possibly give me some guesses before I call MG Magic. I have been informed
it is a 1976 engine. The seller bought it in Vancouver BC about 20 years ago.
He bought it about one year after it was completed. It has a bit of a sag in
the rear but I do not think that will be expensive to fix.

is in a past note above.
I hope you all had a nice motoring weekend.
Thank you all for the help. Hopefully, this Sunday I will be able to see the
car, and take some pictures. I will look for the emblem also. Is there any
particular picture that would be of help, other than the emblem? I can post
the pictures at the above site. They will be about 2.5MB each so may load or
download slowly.
I will post a note when they are uploaded.
Thank you again for all the good information, and money saving
information.
Have a great weekend.
Thanks. I will go and have a look at the car and compare it with what you
wrote about differences. I am told there is no plate.
I have uploaded the three pictures I have to my ISP. I left them unlocked in
case the viewing size is too small and you would like to download them. The

I appreciate your info and will keep you up to date.
Have a nice day.
Thank you for another lead. Are the kit car tops that far off the originals?
She researched locally and received estimates of $800-$1000 Cdn.
Topsonline was $230 USD. That is a big difference.
I believe the seller has a drawing with measurements. I will get it and do
some more research.
I am told the kit car was from FL. Would the maker still be known, and is
there a way to contact them? They probably have disappeared.
Have a nice day.
