How often do you get the chance to photograph almost identical MGCs in an award-winning classic car restoration workshop? When the opportunity arose this week, Nick jumped at the chance to do just that.
Jonn carried out an appraisal and initial work on our 1970 MGC Roadster, beginning with the removal of the nearside steering rack gaiter. On inspection, he found oil inside, which was unexpected given that the vehicle does not have a power-assisted rack. The track rod end and its securing nut were removed, followed by the […]
When you win a car from us, we like to make sure you love it a much as possible. When Nick won our 1968 MGC Roadster, he said he would prefer slightly different seats. Before we load it into the trailer, Ben has been fitting the new seats as requested.
Ben aligned the o/s headlight that he had previously sorted. He then needed to look in to the wiring on the other light that hadn’t been looked at yet and the earth connection was poor, so he cleaned and replaced the connections where necessary. Ben also replaced the bowl and rubber as the old one […]
During the reassembly of our 1968 MG C Roadster following paintwork, the bumpers, lights, and indicators were refitted using new gaskets and replacement bolts where required. The headlight and front indicator wiring required new connections, which were soldered on. A new headlight bowl was installed. The wheels were also refitted.
Jonn continued the repair of the nearside quarter light of our 1968 MGC Roadster by filing out and fitting a new handle mount. Two countersunk screws were cut down to fit and secure the mount, and a 1/4″ bolt was ground down to fit the frame for the pivot. Mastik was applied inside the frame […]

Lydia has been hard at work over the last week or so on the roof of our 1969 MGC GT. First, she stripped the old headlining from the roof. As with a lot of materials from the 60s and 70s, the foam had disintegrated, leaving a sticky mess. Taking the roof apart was challenging as […]
In MG folklore, nothing sparks debate like the words ‘University Motors’. A misty, murky and sometimes erroneous rabbit hole which is filled with wildly varying statistics and numbers. What is known, is that University Motors was an MG dealership. University Motors was the largest MG dealership for London and the Home Counties. From the 1930s, […]
The 1968 MGC Roadster in the Bridge Classic Cars restoration workshop at our Pettistree HQ has had a series of key jobs finished on the classic roadster. Jon has been working on getting the MGC Roadster sorted for its new life. Ranging from the engine bay, under the dash and the wheels. The first job […]
