I'm somewhat confused with all this replica thing...... how on earth can a
replica TF have any providence at all? Its a copy, a fake made mostly from
used components from other MGs. Yes some are better than others and the
Victor appears to be better than most but as an MG? No way.......

moved out after about a year or so.

Detroit by Great lakes car Company. There are very few left. I would expect
the price to be quite a bit lower because of the engine and rear end. A
genuine Victor is worth serious money. That's partly becuase they are
recognized as variants by the MG clubs. Adding an American motor voids that.
