MGTD Kit Car With Limo Stretch Is Horrible, Yet Oddly Intriguing

42014111162838361 The MG-TD was and is a very desirable vehicle. That’s why Fiberfab and other kit car companies successfully sold knockoffs that could be easily bolted to a VW floorplan. Today, those VW-powered kit replicas are largely considered to be, um, “less desirable.” So, what would make it better? The same answer as any other car: a limo stretch! American Eagle Motors in Virginia is offering this “one of a kind” custom stretched Fiberfab TD replica for an undisclosed sum. The price is listed as “Call Us”, so maybe they’re so desperately lonely they’ll give you car just for calling and talking a while. More pics and details after the jump. Would you want your bride or prom date to show up in this? As whorable as the whole thing sounds, it actually comes off better than I expected. The workmanship is fairly impressive, including what must have been a nightmarish soft stop design and fabrication process. It looks like it could be a bit of silly fun to ride in. Unfortunately, I can’t get past the scary detail that a stretched VW pan underlies all that length, and all that extra weight is being hauled around with a VW engine and automatic transaxle. I guess it doesn’t matter because you wouldn’t want to go fast enough to ruin the bride’s day by ruffling her expensive hairdo. The dealer’s web page states the following:
