The sun is shining and the temperatures are rising... Today is a great day for this super little car..... We are so busy here today starting the rebuilding our 1963 midget We rescued a very tatty little 1963 MG Midget from an auction in 2020. It has now embarked on our full restoration programme where it will be loving restored ready to enjoy the open road once more with a new owner... When restoring these beautiful little cars we try to save as many of the original parts as we can, making sure they are refurbished to as good as new, if not better! We often have lots of history that comes with our cars showing how they have been loved, treasured and enjoyed over the years... It makes our job all the more rewarding when we know we are restoring somebody's former pride and joy back to its former glory. The first ever Austin Healey Sprite, affectionately nicknamed as the Frogeye due to the positioning of it's headlights, commenced production on Monday 17th April 1958 and was first made public on 20th May 1958. A total of 48,987 were produced between 1958 and 1971.... We took the very tired and tatty badges off our Riley Elf and hoped we'd be able to source some original ones online which were in a better condition that ours were. We searched and searched with no avail... Here is where we store and test our engines on our very own test rig. We also prepare and contruct all of the sub assemblies so they are in full working order before being fitted into the cars. We are still here for you.... Get in touch if there is anything you need!
Is it time to get your classic out of hibernation?
