   Is this company went bust.Why no update? In end 90's EON (Proton car dealer company) assemble these cars in Malaysia. These cars being powered by Nissan Pulsar's 2.0 4 cylinder CA20E and 2.0 16 valve Toyota Celica's 3S-FE engine.They were not cheap with prices starting at RM 170,000 in 2008 or more than RM 203,000 when adjusted for inflation.Last I check their website, td-2000.com, it directed to some betting website. A trip down the Wayback Machine saw that the domain appeared to be taken over by some Chinese website some time in 2018. What do you think? Enjoy and discuss.

Being a real car enthusiast, it isn't always about the most aerodynamic shapes, not always about having the latest tech, not about the best 0-100kph time or the highest top speed, or even the number of G forces it can generate while cornering. Sometimes, it is just about the simple wind in the hair experience, just driving and enjoying the drive and the occasion. These attributes are somewhat lost in the new generation who do not understand how motoring started out. It has evolved to be efficient and yet impersonal. Sad to see such comments.
Bufori, according to their website only sells 1 model. The Geneva, and I doubt many here can afford that and here's something to note. The older Bufori models had an unconventional rear engine (Subaru 2.2L flat four) layout, like the old Beetle. I personally would have preferred the TD2000 with its more 'normal' FR layout.
Just some food for thought and it is a pity that companies that made the TD2000 died out. But they were way too expensive anyway for what they were. Hopefully in today's digital world, there would be some place for a product like the TD2000 to make a comeback, and if they do, with a more M40 friendly price tag.

QUOTE(Kuantan Guy @ Apr 5 2022, 06:22 AM) How come u selected ugly, old photos from internet? Can't blame him. Maybe he doesn't know here to get hi-res photos. I would like to test drive such a car if it is possible. I always liked the TD2000 and I like that it came with better and more modern mechanicals (meaning reliable). It is no classic though and just a replica of the MG.

I remember seeing these being assembled together with the Perdana Stretch Limousines in the year 2000. These cars were very nicely made but I suppose it's for a niche market. At the time I was too young and couldn't appreciate why such cars exist. Now I understand.
