Nope. No need to bolt down a 4-poster, Bill. And it comes with handy casters for easy mobility.

SureUnless it is raining and then maybe a Chili hut?

What do you mean, “…drag it out in the driveway” ? You don’t have those posts bolted down?

Now we’re getting somewhere. 

EdI am interested as expressed above. I will try and drag Dean with me as well. Can discuss with you at Carlisle.

Reminder, gentlemen:

I cruised over to the usual Saturday cars & coffee at the Hunt Valley mall. Rolled in behind a stunning cream colored Speedster replica and I swear Bridget got more attention than that car.

I used rtv when I did mine instead of the gasket. the 2nd gasket goes behind the backing plate. there where no plugs when I took mine apart. I like the Bentley manual the most very thorough.

Yessir, sounds like a plan. I’ll PM you my cell#

a 60 degree 3.4 v-6 could replace the 4cylinder if the hood is wide enough have 1 in my garage I could measure also I’m selling it could give a tdr forum discount if you want it

grass skirts ? I was telling the wife about the required Hawaiian shirts and she wondered if she needed to wear a grass skirt.

My 2 cents: Why do you own either?  Do you consider either an investment? Is the cost of spares a consideration? …or did you buy to enjoy the open air motoring experience?  ….or perhaps you like to tweak and tinker with old cars?  ….or maybe all your friends own real T-types?  There is little doubt that the BMW is a better (in every regard…[Read more]

Good deal Jack.Mine sits easy across the back with a couple of bungee cords.Will try to remember the TDREPLICA banner this year.

Could you keep both for a year while deciding? I’d make the decision based on which one I enjoyed driving more. Getting them both road-worthy would seem the 1st step to a sale anyway, so nothing lost there but time and maybe a scraped knuckle. The BCW is probably a bit roomier. The original is cooler. Both will hold maintenance challenges. If the…[Read more]

Like most of the TDrs, the BCW is, I think, 3 inches longer overall than the TD. I believe the Fusseneggers stretched the hood a little in order to get a better fit of the body over the VW donor: it lets the BCW’s full length grill sit in front of the front axle beam and allows the rear torsion bar to tuck behind the front of the rear fenders. (Of…[Read more]

Not stock.  Notice that all the fenders are somewhat rounded where they would have attached to the missing center sections.  And the outside door handles are missing.  The straps securing the gas tank have been modified also.  The owner took some 1950’s customizing liberties that you don’t usually see on a real TD.  I’d guess that most folks, if…[Read more]

Very cool scene!

You are a hero, Jack. Thanks for stepping up!

Hey Carlisle-bound TDr’s,

I think the P-1800-engined TD is kind of the best of both worlds. Authentic steel over ash body and 100 horsepower, but with proper dual-SU carburation.
