Steve,
     One final comment. There are a number of discussions involving the London Roadster. One actually gives the exact info about the company. It was last posted 2006 & is very informative. The were actually made in Inkster, Mi. ( a suburb of Dearborn).

Steve,
     One other idea. There is a VW dealer in Southgate, Mi. that has been in the same family for years. You might try contacting Melton Motors in Southgate, Mi to see if they have a line on any of the London Roadsters being as the dealer might have seen some of them years ago.

Hey Steve,
     The London Roadster was assembled in Dearborn, Mich. on Michigan Ave, just west of Southfield. After I bought my Allison in ’82 , I visited London Roadster’s shop which at that time was thriving. As with so many it is now defunct.

Hey Gordon,

The Allison story continues with Kenny Allison making dune buggies before the TD’s. After the TD’s he went into renovating the inside of busses for rock stars of the 80’s that traveled from city to city. He used only quality materials in the TDs & they sold then for $ 15,000. Yes, as Larry Murphy said,”They are quality cars”. Anytime any of you…[Read more]

Hey guys,I’m impressed with the interest generated & questions. As Larry Murphy stated , it was sold to me new in 1982 as a “completed” car. And again he is right in that it came from Port Orange, Fl. ( a suburb of Daytona). The wipers are stock VW as is the power train but the engine was bored out to 1700 cc creating 102 hp. It rides & drives…[Read more]
