Classic Roadsters Ltd.’s Duchess was available in VW and front engine versions.
At one point, Classic Roadsters Ltd. was even demoing a front engine V6 Duchess, although I don’t recall if they ever produced any.

Don’t forget Ed, i also posted “understanding engineers” 

Now that is scary Allen.
It’s one thing for the knuckleheads to be rolling down the road with us. But the consequences are far different in the air!

Congrat’s schweppes!You’ve already moved from asking questions, to providing answers

Ha! No. Working on it slowly. But I have no garage to work in. One side is occupied by my ’65 Plymouth Satellite. And the other side with a bunch of “stuff” that belongs in the basement that I do not have>The MG lives in a shed behind the house. Gravel floor with a tarp over the gravel. Not a comfy working place. And at the moment blocked by snow…[Read more]

Two feet on Dec 27. And half a foot a few days ago.And looking at another foot by mid Wednesday! that will ptu NJ well over the average for the season! And our worst snows are usually in February and March! I’m running around the neighborhood attacking snow men with hairdryers!Get me out of here!

I should have mentioned two other things:When you upload a picture into a post, it will automatically be added to your photo gallery.And if all you want to do is load a picture to your gallery, open a new message, upload the picture to the message, and then just close the message without posting it.PMOSSBERG40556.8192592593

I don’t claim to know everything about these cars, but I don’t recall ever seeing a Migi with a true four piece folding hood. Of course a previous owner could have done the fabrication work him/herself.dbrock, in a NEW thread, post pictures and let us have a look

Welcome aboard Schweppes!
Tell us some more about the car!
And please take a moment to add your info to the registry thread (the link is in my signature)

Like I said Allen, I’m nearing 30 years on the road and have had zero problems with “exposed” wiring under the fenders.I would not just leave the bare wires tho.Mine are wrapped in the harness covering. If yours are just the wires, I would wrap them.

Hey Ed…..see my new technique to keep my posting lead? Only answer half the question. Then post again to answer the second half. 

Rear harness, the same thing.A branch comes of the rear harness and is clamped along the inner rear fender well.

Wow Ed! that is great thinking on the manufacturers part.On Classic Roadsters Duchess, the front harness loom has a branch for the turn signals. It comes out from the lower part of the front compartment. A wire clamp is bolted to one of the headlight cradle bolts, holding it snug and it crosses under the top of the fender to the lamp socket.There…[Read more]

Russ,I’d lie to see your light shell.There were two types that I have seen used on replicas.On the original TD style, the lens “rim” for lack of a better term, is only about an 1/8th of an inch. In other words, from the seat on the bullet, to the leading edge of the lens rim is only 1/8″.On the other style, that same “rim” is over a half inch…[Read more]
