I used to own a VW based Classic Roadsters Ltd. Duchess. I built the car in 1982. Owned it until a couple years ago.

Also have a 2005 Intermeccanica Roadster (Porsche 356 convertible D reproduction). After I bought that car, the Mg TDr started to “sit” a lot. I said it was in the corner of the garage “acquiring patina.” Sold it to an…[Read more]

I had a lot of fun with that over the years! Amazing how many people would try to stop my, usually with a “hey idiot, what are you doing” attitude!
