1980 Austin Morris Mini City

Our 1980 Austin Morris Mini City is in our workshops this week for its annual MOT.

Whilst in, we will look at a little oil leak that has developed and we’ll also give it a full service.

Triumph TR6 repair complete

The repair of our 1975 Triumph TR6 front section is now complete having been unfortunately involved in an accident on the way to this year’s Helmingham Hall Festival of Classic and Sportscars.

We were on a strict deadline to repair the car due to other Triumph commitments. Although these appointments were not essential they are mighty important.

We successfully completed the repairs in time for the next event and the car is now back on the road. We also managed to source a new old stock, very rare US bumper.

Removing the Morris C8 Engine and Gearbox

We have successfully managed to remove the engine of our 1944 Morris C8. Ady can now get it on the bench ready for the rebuild to commence.

No oil pressure has knocked out the big ends. The crank shaft bearings are badly scored and the pistons are heavily scored. We will now need to re-bore the engine to house larger pistons.
