Assessing Our 1949 MG YT
January 23, 2023
Our beautiful 1949 MG YT is back with us for a service and a thorough workshop assessment.
Classic car technician Dave has been looking at this very special car and, as you can see from the photos and videos below, it is in incredible condition.
Our MG YT has been in the workshop quite a lot over the years as we restored it and now look after the majority of its maintenance for its owners.
There aren’t many cars dating from 1949 that look as good as this and we are very much enjoying having it back with us for a short while.
Salon Privé Concours d’Elegance – 2020
September 23, 2020
The prestigious Salon Privé Concours d’Elegance was held today at Blenheim Palace. The event showcases the rarest and most significant classic cars and bikes in the world.
What a pleasure it is to see our gorgeous 1949 MG YT make an appearance by personal invitation.
This stunning piece of history was a full restoration project of ours. From a complete engine rebuild, to an interior overhaul, we’ve transformed this 1940’s beauty into the elegant classic she is today.
This car was a childhood dream for a former customer of ours, Mr MacDonald. It was one of the 877 produced. Sadly, by the time this iconic car was shipped to the UK, Mr McDonald had passed.
Although he never got to drive his lifelong dream classic car, Mr McDonald’s son has upheld his fathers vision and seen the full restoration through to completion.
We’re sure Mr McDonald would be so proud to see his 1949 MG YT in the very colours he chose, glimmering in the Oxfordshire sunshine this morning.
The event itself is filled with classic cars, champagne and English tea and of course; the highly anticipated Salon Privé Concours d’Elegance awards themselves. Although our 1949 MG YT didn’t win, we’re all incredibly proud of the entire team at Bridge Classic Cars for completing such a fantastic restoration. She’s certainly a winner in our eyes!
Viper Valet

Two of our classics have been treated to professional valets this week by our good friends at Viper Valeting in Ipswich.
Firstly was our beautiful 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 that’s spent the long summer days on some great British road trips. Now squeaky clean and ready to be tucked up securely in our specialist storage facility over winter.
Also cleaned, was our 1949 MG YT ahead of her appearance at the Salon Privé Concours d’Elegance this week. She’s been nominated for an award so we’ve all got our fingers crossed for her!
1949 MG YT – Concours d’Elegance Preparation
August 21, 2020
This beautiful 1949 MG YT is back with us at Bridge Classic Cars. We had the pleasure of restoring this car for the MacDonald family.
The YT has been entered into the Concours d’Elegance at Blenheim Palace this year with the preparation of the vehicle entrusted to us.
There was a fuel leak which Ady has fixed by fitting a new carburettor needle valve and seat.
Along with fixing some of her internal complaints, some aesthetics have also been corrected in our specialist paint shop by expert painter Darren. “I’ve polished out some minor scratches in the paint work and worked on some localised rust marks.”
The car will also been fully detailed by Viper Auto Valet and perfected in preparation for display at Blenheim Palace.
We love seeing this car back at the workshop, we’re honoured to have the pleasure of working on such a special car. The story of this car is simply incredible!
