1977 MGBGT: Restoration Complete
July 7, 2019
We were first introduced to our 1977 MG BGT at last year’s Bridge Classic Cars Classic and Sports Car Show. The current and ONLY owner purchased the car brand new in 1977 and due to unforeseen circumstances the car was tucked away in the 80’s not to be used there after.
…until now.
We heard of the story back in August 2018 and agreed to take on the sympathetic restoration/recommission of this wonderfully original car.
This was a very enjoyable restoration project with the majority of the build being the original parts cleaned and refurbished.
The engine was removed in order to refurbish and gave us the opportunity to tidy the engine bay. We carried out the relevant welding tasks and prepared the body for paint. Whilst all of these tasks were being carried out we refurbished the components we had removed from the car including the bright work, Rostyle wheels and cleaned the original interior.
The car was finished in the original factory specified Flamenco Red.
A little under 12 months have passed and we have successfully completed the build and are now able to reunite the car with its owner in time for a milestone family celebration.
A fantastic story and a beautiful end result.
The final photo shoot took place within the grounds of our Woodbridge workshops by world renowned automotive photographer Matt Woods.

1975 MGB Roadster: Restoration Complete
July 7, 2019
Back in 2018 we were commissioned to source an MGB Roadster for the Managing Director of one of the world’s leading car manufacturers, who had such a car as his first Management Car Plan car and wanted it recreated as was. We understand that he is delighted with the result.
Originally sourcing the car was somewhat of a challenge due to the specific criteria that was involved.
The car must be an original car, with a factory specification finish of Tundra Green. The car must also have the original engine present so all numbers matching.
We tracked down the car in Kettering, looking very sad and untouched and parked up under a tree.
The car has now undergone a full and thorough nut and bolt restoration. No stone has been left un-turned. The complete project can be found within the projects section of our website.
A huge thank you to Matt Woods Photography for a wonderful photo shoot to mark the completion of this incredible restoration journey.
