Sports, racing and saloons from the twenties through to late pre war...

Triumphs

We have lost count of how many Triumph TRs we have rebuilt over the last 20 years. We have also rebuilt many Spitfires and GT models...

Engines

Over the years we have rebuilt hundreds of engines. We have extensive expertise in engines dating from the turn of the century although we draw the line at modern supercars as we do not have the necessary diagnostic equipment for them. If in doubt please ask.

1953 MG TD Mk2 sports

If you carried out a survey amongst enthusiasts to establish which straightforward classic British sports car they would most like to own, the MG TD would come out high on the list if not at the top. As the T series evolved it became more comfortable and performance improved. Small changes meant that the car got prettier because it maintained that classic British look which everyone enjoys so much. This car is a rare Mk2 which had improved performance and roadholding by virtue of progressive engine and suspension improvements.
