History: The car was purchased from a well known MG specialist (T types) and looked reasonably good. On closer inspection it was found to be cosmetic and needed some significant re-engineering, to such an extent that a full rebuild was commissioned in 2006, finishing in October of that year.

The list of works was endless, the brief being to produce a tractable and useable car, not a show car. We are very pleased with the results and use the car often daily in the summer.
