Terrific Ric! Glad to see this worked out!

In his dreams.

Nailing Marilyn, that is.

Who knew Ed was such a Marilyn expert?

Very nice work AllenI wish I had built a board like that when I built my Duchess.I mounted the fuse box to the “firewall.” But my relays are simply wired into their respective circuits. When I bundled the wiring under the dash, the relays got tied up in those bundles. Luckily in the 33 years since I built her I have not had any electrical problems.

Seems the direct link to the brochure site does not work.Here is the home page:http://www.lov2xlr8.no/Scroll down to the various category links.

Good stuff Roy.I believe the z-bar engine cover hinges are unique to the Classic Roadsters Ltd. Duchess.And I was not saying that only the Duchess had the features I listed. I meant that taken together, I believe the car in this auction is a Duchess.

Not a bad idea Dave…but you really can’t rely on that to ID a car.I’d bet many owners swap out the manufacturer’s grill badge for a reproduction MG badge.At least that’s what I did! 😉

Ok, I was tired of it too.And restrictor plate racing is boring to me.So…the picture links in this thread are now fixed. YAY! Gold star for me if I say so myself.

Just bumping this post up.I bet a lot of our new members have never seen it.Sorry about the broken picture links. Given some time, we’ll get them fixed.

• the z-bars holding the engine cover (hinged at the rear valance, not at the top),
• the dash layout (in particular the turn signal and generator warning light triplet about the speed and tach),
• the bench seat bottom

Except for the dash, that there looks a lot like a Duchess.The grill is definitely a reproduciton TD grill. The grill alone is almost worth the asking price!

Yes. Listing says it sold.It’s definitely a Duchess.Sad to see my car is worth less than $4k.

Not too bad.But please, please, if I ever decide to sell my TD, somebody remind me to take pictures without me standing with the car. Oy!

Had never heard of them until I read your post.Pretty wicked looking!

If I was doing it all over again, I think I would use an early VW steering column (without the key), reomve the VW turn signal lever, and use something like this:

Good info here too:

Great discussion on four-way flashers on the Samba at:

I didn’t even know Dale (schu) had a top! I’ve never seen his car with the roof on.

Sure. Parts for original TDs are out there.
