Ian's 1957 MG Magnette ZB Varitone
This car was purchased in 1980. I restored it over several years
including a bare metal re-spray. In 2000 the 1489cc engine was
replaced with a 1798cc 5 bearing engine giving noticeable
performance benefits.
The car has been used on two club holidays to France and to
holidays to South Wales and in 1995 the car was exhibited at the
London Classic Car Show at Alexandra Palace.
These cars boast an all leather interior with polished wood
fascia and door capings. They were noted in the 1950's for their
high standard of road holding and as the fastest British 1½ litre
4-door saloon.

Gary and Bridget's Midget
1973 MG Midget 1275cc RWA in Black Tulip. Restored to almost
original in 2000 with ocre interior and Rubery
Owen "Rostyle" wheels, took 19 months to complete (by previous
owner). I have added a classic walnut dash,
wooden steering wheel and a couple of not so classic modern
accessories - electronic points, heated seats and sound proofing. I
spent 3 months on mechanical repairs, tuning and general maintenance
required after years of sitting in a garage - completed
only 40 miles in 3 years by the previous owner, to and from the MOT
station as far as I could tell.

Roy and Anne’s 1968 MGB GT
I am the 19th owner of this MG which I
purchased in 2002 with the intention of completely restoring it. I did
start the restoration but due to a severe back injury it became
obvious that I was not going to be able to continue with this. The MG remained in
the garage all in pieces until his
wife gave him an ultimatum - Get rid of it or get someone else
to finish it. It was decided
that a garage would carry out and complete the restoration.
The work commenced in 2007 and
after 18 months the MG was finally restored to its present
condition having the colour changed from white to British Racing
Green and was back on the road on the 1st May 2009 -
just 7 years after I bought the MG.

Gary's 2005 MGTF 160VVC
One of the last out of the Longbridge factory - seen here at the
millbrook proving ground in Bedfordshire with the 'suffering not
quite in silence Bridget'. Showing the diversity in the Luton and
Dunstable MG owners club - we have and welcome all models and
vintages and have the whole range of MG's from a 1950's TF to a
2005 TF. This one is noisy and a lot of fun - with a TT mk7
exhaust the very quick 1.8 VVC 160 BHP engine and the optional
sports pack.
