James,Mark (pinkmg) and I were referring to the brand name “Battery Tender“I use the Battery Tender Junior on both cars (the MG and my 65 Plymouth).

I’ve had a Battery Tender on my MG for about 10 years. And one on my 65 Satellite for two years. Never a problem.

Hello again Bud.
Just a quick clarification, we only have Fiberfab and CMC build manuals, unfortunately far from “most” of them.
As a couple of us have noted, there are similarities between kits, so it is worth reading through the manuals that we do have here.PMOSSBERG40133.308125

Hi Bud,
Our site founder Frank has a note on the “Download Manuals” page that Daytone MIGI manuals are “coming soon”. But that note has been there for quite a while. That may mean he has paper copies and simply has not had a chanceto scan and post them.

Hi GoCart,You should post under the Classifieds, Running MGTD Kit Cars For Sale section.

Scott,It’s very hard to believe the factory would have missed parts in one box. It’s not like they were producing hundreds of kits and when they were ready to ship, would go to the warehouse and pull various body parts off a shelf to pack into a shipping crate. More typically, they were making the parts for a full kit at a time. That said, I guess…[Read more]

OK, my last source came up dry too.Steve Hole, editor of Total Kit Car magazine (published in the UK) si also not able to id this car.Dave – it appears you have the perfect storm! Good luck bringing it back to life.

James,That is the Spartan that I mentioned in one of the earlier posts.It’s not the same as the car Dave has.

What do you mean Dan R? I see the interior picture.Did you post more than one?PMOSSBERG40085.9870138889

Dave, Is the fiberglass hand laid? Or chopper gun?It is not a sure thing, but manufactured kit bodies are usually chopper gun. Hand laying fiberglass mat is too labor intensive and time consuming.A one-off, on the other hand, would likely be hand laid since teh craftsman likely would not have chopper gun equipment.

Wow. Apparently you like a challenge!
I went to two very knowledgeable sources, Jim Youngs of Kit Car Builder and Harold Pace, a kit car guru who writes a tech column and vintage kit car column.
They do not recognize this one, either from the US or UK markets.
I’ve got one more feeler out there, but I’m not optimistic.
Sorry Dave.

Hi Dave,
Looks like somebody sat on my TD!
I’ve been around this hobby since 1982 and I have no idea what thsi car is. It’s reminiscent of a Maxi Taxi and a Spartan. But it is not either of those. And to my eyes, not similar enough to be predecessors of either
I’ve reached out to a few non-TD friends. Maybe they’ll come up with something.

Beautiful car Greg.
Nice photo too!
The finish looks great. Is that paint? Or gel coat?PMOSSBERG40084.4970023148

Info from Frank:Annual cost is $155 ($139 for hosting services and $16 to retain the domain name).We have collected $105. I think more than any past year.

Cool. I did a paper Volvo S80, which was a very simple one.And I did a paper model of the entire original NYC World Trade Center complex which came out pretty cool.

I just sent my donation Frank.Hey gang, every little bit helps. I think we’ve covered about 75% of the cost for next year.If our gracious host lets me know exactly where we stand, we’ll share that info.My personal goal is that FrankieD spends zero out of his own pocket.

James, if it matters to you, part number A-13705-AR (second one on the first page Ringo linked to) is similar to the map light on an original MG TC.The original TD had no map light. So you are free to do whatever you want!PMOSSBERG40072.9671759259

Or…when I’m driving the TD…who CARES what time it is?

Congratulations Bill.
The “Memberlist” takes care of all forum members.
The registry is intended to be a listing of our TDs. So yes, I will remove you and Angelia from that list.

I’ve had the convex fender mirrors on my car since it’s first summer.Once you get them adjusted, they really do help!
