I've seen these kits. A lot of people were seriously ripped off by one
of the companies (the now-defunct Classic Motor Carriages) that sold the
kits. The kit cost anywhere from $4000 to $6000, and the extra stuff
that had to be purchased/modified was another couple grand. Not to
mention the donor car, and, if it was done right, the expense of
rebuilding/restoring the chassis and engine of the donor car. This poor
sap is barely getting his money back at $7500. I've seen people trying
to sell them for $12,000! They're fun, but at that price, might as well
just look for a real MG!

I think that Classic is back in business under a new name. They apparently
were ripping people off by taking the total money and them shipping partial
kits. Then the rest of the parts would never arrive......
A real TD is only around 12 grand, and it's the REAL THING! Watch out for
that wood rot, though.
