The Speedster guys talk about the “madness” as an incurable disease affecting all who get bitten by the Speedster bug.Apparently we have our own TDr strain of the madness.I assume they are similar diseases and cause similar actions and symptoms. But of course, TDr madness is pronounced with a proper British accent.

Jordan,In a word… Yes.
All the options you list are possible. And the bottom line is you may never know.German cases that were originally in a vehicle have engine numbers on them. I believe Brazilian and Mexican engines installed in production cars had engine numbers as well.Engine cases not intended for the production line may not have case…[Read more] -

Jordan,Done properly, it’s a weld in procedure. You can also rivet them in and seal the seams, it’s just not as good a fit.There are many sources. This is just one..which also includes a DVD with the installation procedure. Scroll down, the floor pans are about half way down the search…[Read more]

Okay, I may have an answer for you re the disappearing cursor.
If you merely hover over the text pane when starting a topic, you won’t see anything. The cursor only appears when you actually click in the box. That’s pretty standard operation for web sites.Does that describe your experience? -
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Replica For Sale — Summary in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 11 months ago
I agree about $4 to $5k is a likely selling price for that car. I was kidding (a little) about offering $1,000.
John, my TDr is also titled as a 1952 TD. But that has nothing to do with how “original looking” it is. Some states title kit cars as the car they replicate. Most do not, but some do. I got mine titled that way a bit differently.I guess… -

Will share this with Stephen. Not sure what that error message means.
Also pretty sure the disappearing cursor is not something the applicaiton can do anything about. I’ve occasionally seen that happen on web sites. I’ve also had it happen in Microsoft Office products. -
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Replica For Sale — Summary in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 11 months ago
Oh yeah…
And it is NOT “original looking.”Neither is my Duchess, even tho it uses a true TD grill and many other true TD bits and pieces. That’s not a knock on TDr’s. It’s a simple fact. Just about anyone with some rudimentary car knowledge can distinguish an original TD vs a TDr.PMOSSBERG2015-11-19 10:35:50

What a crock of, well, you know.
It is a kit car. And it is VW based (ad text says VW 1600 engine motor).Appears to be a short grill car also.Oh, and keep your silly mug out of the pictures when postign a classified ad.Offer? I’ll offer him a $1,000. Keep the wire wheels. Put on some stick VW wheels and sell it for $2,000. 😉 -

Hope you are not too disappointed Sam.
Clipper Blue was a factory color for MG TDs. Slightly darker than this car.
No idea what was factory in 1934

Or, they’ll finance it with payments of “only” $1,266 per month!John…why a $136,000 replica? Who knows! Except that the 8 originals are all off the market. This does look like one of those, “Man it would be cool if we built this,” moments. And now the builders are tryign to get some or all of t… -

I know I’m always on the soapbox about keeping threads on topic, and on making your subject line clear as to what that topic is. And the primary reason is my belief that we are continually building up a knowledge base that will have value long after we are gone.… -
