Hey everyone,
I usually stay away from anything like this but I figured I would go ahead and make a post about the mg td kit cars I have seen for sale on craigslist and other places around the web.
For those of you who do not know the MG TD was a 2 seat convertible made by MG. The TD was produced from 1950 to 1953. The car featured high gearing, rack and pinion steering, and had a smaller 15-inch (380 mm) disc type road wheel. In addition it had a left-hand drive option and standard equipment bumpers and over-riders. The car was about 5 inches (130 mm) wider with a 50 inch (1,300 mm) Track.
Under the hood the driver enjoyed a face melting 57hp that would propel the MG from 0-60 in about 18 seconds while achieving 22mpg.
Over the years many, MANY kit car manufactures produced copies of the MG TD. MG only made 30,000 of them, but I would imagine there are 3 times that many MG kit cars around in various stages. Some of the better known MG TD Kit Cars were produced by …
Daytona
British Coach Works
Classic Roadsters, LTD
MP Lafer
Piper Auto
Fiberfab
Rich Industries
Classic Motor Carriages
London Motors Corporation

In addition there is a great forum out there at http://tdreplica.com/ . Years of knowledge are available in the forum as well as cars and parts for sale. If you have an interest in an MG TD replica I suggest you do and check them out. If you have a fiberfab MIGI and are looking for a replacement emblem we have them available in our store. They are a great reproduction of a hard to find emblem. You can find them HERE
where can I find a used hood for the MGTD kit car. A new one is 600 plus tax shipping. mine was stolen while be transported to me.
Hey Greg. Best bet is to check craigslist for someone with a really bad mgtd project. Just keep in mind something like a fiberfab mgtd hood may not work on another manufacturer and what not.
I am looking to find value of fiberfab kit car titled as 1952 mg with 350 Chevy engine in it…roadster, custom frame, used to go to drag races. This is unique beast..like having lawn mower engine on a q tip.. heehee. Looking to sell but no idea in searches what the value is…please help as I am getting offers all over the place for it.
Hey there. Without seeing photos this is just a ball park. Custom makes it more of a tough sell to be honest . From what I have seen over the years most of the Fiberfab Migi cars that are priced much above $5000 usually end up not selling. the price would be for a good condition running, driving , and titles vehicle. If you are getting offers above $5000 pick one and take it.
The 350 really does not make much difference as
Aloha,
Do you think this is a good deal? I’m about to go have a look at it.

Its not a bad looking car. I would have no issue paying around $3000 for it
Never mind. That car was junk!
Thats a damn shame
If you find a MG TD kit car built on a VW ; how hard would it be to convert it over to use a Ford Pinto/mustang set up.
The cars that used Pinto/Chevette drivetrains had custom frames. That would be the only way to make it happen.
I am looking for a 1950s MG fiberglass body for my VW. Does anyone suggest a certain manufacturer over another? I have not been able to find any new or used.
