1947 MG TC

Today we bid adieu to some fantastic classics we’ve had the pleasure of working with over the last few weeks. A regular visitor of ours is this exciting 1981 Triumph TR7 V8. We’ve always enjoy maintaining this stunner, this time though,…

Friend to Bridge Classic Cars, Tony Burgess of Wyatt Polishing in Thetford, attended the MG Car Club Championships this weekend and kindly sent us a few snaps. Racing on the 300 circuit, the MG Car Club had all of its…

Our classic car Technician Dave has repaired a couple of damaged driveshafts on our lovely 1947 MG TC. “Originally, the car came in with differential problems” explains Dave, “but once the differential had a complete overhaul we realised then that the…

One final task to undertake on our 1947 MG TC before we return her to her owner…the hood. Having spent many years out on the UK roads and a couple of trips to a ‘not so careful’ garage the hood…

Today, we see the return of our 1947 MG TC which we last saw back in October 2017. We have reports of a slight leak around the rear axle and upon closer inspection it looks to be the diff pinion seal…

Recently we took on a project to rebuild one side of our 1947 MG TC’s woodwork. This included a full rebuild of the woodwork frame. Once the work was complete we carried out a rear re-spray of the vehicle. When…

This morning, we said farewell to our 1949 MGTC. Originally in with us to have the wood frame rebuilt but shortly followed by a full rear respray. She’s now on her way back to Southend with her owner Trevor.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our original objective was to repair the woodwork that was showing signs of wear on the offside. Not as straight forward as it sounds. Coachwork can be tricky to perfect and with it being the strength of the car it is…

Here we have some classic pictures given to us from our good friends. It’s lovely when we have visitors with stories to tell and pictures to show. We carried out some work on Trevor Murray’s 1949 MG TC  last year…

The brand new full A and B posts have successfully been fitted to our 1947 MGTC. As you can seem we have discovered a small area of rot that has spread to the back arch panel. Rather than replacing the…

The A and B posts have been successfully removed from the offside of our 1947 MGTC. We have temporarily fitted up the components we have in but are just waiting for one more piece to the jigsaw before we secure…

We have now successfully removed the majority of the affected area of our 1947 MGTC with just the A and B posts remain. It’s a surprisingly big task to take on but we are lucky to have caught it now…

We have now uncovered the A and B posts of our 1947 MG TC to assess the extent of the rot and what coach work will need to be carried out to resolve the issues. As you can see, the…

From time to time you unfortunately uncover more of an issue than what you first estimate and this is one of those times. We set out with the intention of replacing the main wooded beam that runs along the bottom…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our 1947 MG TC has arrived in to our workshops this weekend to have the underside rotten wood issue resolved. The underside wood can be purchased off the shelf which makes the workload (and final bill) much lower but that’s…

In with us today for assessment is a 1947 MGTC. It’s lovely to see this beautiful little classic still being used today but some work will need to be carried out on the floor and chassis to prevent any further…
