Spring is here and it seems MGB owners can’t wait to get their cars out on the road. Two showed up in one day to have a once-over after being in winter storage.

Horseshoes Anyone?

SU H1 Rebuild
An early pair of SU carbs rebuild in progress, this model didn’t even use springs, but weights to push the pistons down.
Sprites Yawning
Looking like a couple of yawning hippos these Austin Healey Sprites always bring smiles. The earlier white car will soon get a drivetrain and be sent on it’s way to its eager owner who took his wife on their first date in it some 50 years ago.
After: 1963 Daimler 2.5 V8
After: 1963 Daimler 2.5 V8. This car was brought to us with no engine, no working steering, or brakes. Without a Daimler engine the decision was made to drop a Ford V8 in it and now completed this thing really moves. The steering, transmission linkage, and motor mounts were some of the things we needed to engineer for this build.
Storing your car for the winter?
Bring your classic by the shop like Donna did with her 1957 Austin Healey 100-6 and we will prepare it for storage.
