This 1952 MG TD-style replica is a charming, garage-built roadster constructed using a Fiberfab fiberglass body and Volkswagen-based chassis and mechanical components. Featuring classic British sports car styling, a rear-mounted Volkswagen flat-4 engine, and a fascinating history of long-term family ownership, this is an interesting project for someone looking to restore, recommission, or finish a vintage kit car.
The car was purchased as a project in the early 1980s and assembled by its longtime owner in his home garage, with construction reportedly completed sometime between 1987 and 1989. It remained in his possession for decades and is now being offered by his family following his passing.
Importantly, this replica comes with an assortment of original build paperwork, brochures, registration documents, and related materials, providing a glimpse into its construction and history.
The vehicle is titled as a 1983 Fiberfab and is being offered as a project rather than a running, road-ready automobile.
Classic MG TD Styling
Inspired by the beloved British MG TD roadster of the early 1950s, this Fiberfab replica captures the character of a traditional open-top sports car.
Its vintage styling includes sweeping fenders, a long hood, upright windshield, external headlights, and rear-mounted spare tire styling.
Exterior Highlights:
1952 MG TD-inspired fiberglass roadster body
Fiberfab kit construction
Classic sweeping fenders and vintage roadster proportions
Rear-hinged suicide-style doors
Upright windshield
Traditional round headlights
Front-mounted turn signals
Volkswagen-style rear taillights
Monza-style rear exhaust
Convertible top frame included
The convertible top frame is present, although a complete usable soft top has not been confirmed.
The car retains the character of a period-built kit car rather than a modern reproduction.
Volkswagen Flat-4 Engine & Chassis
The replica was constructed using Volkswagen components, including a Volkswagen floor pan reportedly dating to 1969.
Power comes from a rear-mounted, air-cooled Volkswagen flat-4 engine, paired with a manual transmission. The exact engine displacement (cc) is currently unknown.
Mechanical Highlights:
Volkswagen air-cooled flat-4 engine
Engine displacement (cc) unknown
Rear-engine configuration
Volkswagen-based chassis
Reportedly 1969 Volkswagen floor pan
Manual transmission
Monza-style exhaust
Volkswagen-derived instrumentation and components
Approximately 7,850 miles displayed on the odometer
During inspection, the engine was confirmed to turn over using the starter after reconnecting the battery. However, it was not demonstrated running.
The vehicle will require mechanical inspection and recommissioning before being placed back into service.
Vintage Roadster Interior
Inside, the cabin offers a simple, traditional sports car atmosphere.
A wood-rim steering wheel complements the classic dashboard, while Volkswagen-derived instrumentation reflects the car's original kit-building approach.
Interior Highlights:
Wood-rim steering wheel
Vintage-style dashboard
Volkswagen-derived gauges
Floor-mounted manual shifter
Traditional two-seat roadster layout With Seat belts
The interior retains the appearance and character of a home-built replica from the 1980s.
Long-Term Family Ownership & Build Documentation
One of the most appealing aspects of this Fiberfab is its history.
The longtime owner acquired the project in the early 1980s, with paperwork indicating purchases and construction activity around 1982–1983.
He assembled the car himself in his garage, reportedly completing the build during the late 1980s.
The family has retained an assortment of paperwork associated with the vehicle, including:
Original Fiberfab-related brochures
Build documentation and paperwork
Previous registration documents
Information concerning the Volkswagen chassis
Additional materials collected during the original build
Registration documents dating back to at least the early 1990s are reportedly included.
These materials add considerable interest for an enthusiast who appreciates vintage kit cars and the history behind their construction.
This MG TD replica is being sold as a project vehicle.
Although the engine turns over, the car has not been demonstrated running or driving. Its mechanical systems, fuel system, brakes, electrical components, and other operating equipment should be thoroughly inspected before attempting regular use.
