The restoration of the MG is now complete and it is time to start enjoying it while the weather is good
Weoften get asked by visitors to the museum do we use the cars that are on display, the answer is yes we do, we go to lots of car runs and shows through out the year but we also take them out just for a drive when we feel like it, and dont always wait until we have a sunny day as can be seen in the photos below that were taken on the roughty valley vintage club run in march , we had our 1948 Bentley and our not so old 1990 mercedes out on that run when coditions were very wintery
MG TD restoration
work on the MG has been progressing nicely, engine has been rebuilt, bodywork repaired , new dashboard made to replace the rotten original, and paintwork has been completed, the seats and interior panels are getting recovered and will be fitted shortly

Another project ongoing here at the museum this winter, a restoration of 1951 MG TD sports car, the car requires a full mechanical and body rebuild, photos of the restoration will be posted here as work continues
We would like to wish everyone a happy new year and thanks for your support during 2017, we hope to see old and new friends in 2018
