Lovely day! This was actually from a couple of weeks ago as today I was at home watching ...errrr ... ‘something’ .... on the TV 🤣 #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro

The MG has been behaving itself recently which makes me suspicious that something is about to go wrong! Enjoying it whilst it lasts... #mg #mgb #mgbgt #mgcars #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro

A few gems from today #sundayscramble #bicesterheritage #classiccar #classiccars #etype #jaguar #xk #datsun #datsun240z #fordgt #mustang #retro #vintage

Went for a run to get the brakes bed in a little plus got some footage of the exhaust sound, pretty pleased but not sure the phone mic could handle it, headphones required for the bassy notes #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #mgcars #vintage #retro #touristtrophy #mossmotors #mosseurope

New ‘Tourist Trophy’ exhaust from @mosseuropeltd arrived today, hoping to get it fitted this week! Impressed with the shiny new manifold but it has a different ‘collector’ to my current one so might not be quite as efficient, interested to hear how it sounds/performs though! #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro #touristtrophy

Only a month before my sons third birthday so I’ve bought this 70s pedal car to fix up, might have bitten off more than I can chew! #raleigh #monaco #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro

Suns out but not too hot making this a ‘bearable’ place to be today 🤣 #mg #mgb #mgbgt #mgcars #classiccar #classiccars #retro #vintage

Made it there AND back! Had a great time at Sunday Scramble at @bicesterheritage today! So many amazing cars on show today, including a Ferrari 250 SWB which I didn’t get a photo of as I was too busy standing in awe Got a few pics of other cars I’ll pop up shortly though #sundayscramble #bicesterheritage #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #retro #vintage #mgcars

Mildly disappointing day! When fitting a new fan belt I noticed one of the alternator brackets on the engine block had sheared, seemed reasonably secure on the other mount and adjuster bracket but not sure how fixable it is?! I then tried to fit my new grille but it didn’t fit and I scratched some paint in the process! Not sure if it’s because it’s a repro part or if I have eccentric wings or both!! Oh well, dented original back in for now! #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #retro #vintage #classiccardramas

The other job I did today was mount my vintage (albeit broken for now) mechanical Heuer stopwatch, seems like a good place since I only needed to drill into an aftermarket radio blanking plate rather than the original dash #mg #mgb #mgbgt #mgcars #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro #heuer #tagheuer

Finally getting around to starting this model, it’s a bit on the small side so very fiddly with lots of tiny parts to lose! #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #retro #vintage #modelcar

Sun’s out, old car out! #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #retro #vintage #autodromo #outwoodwindmill

All set ready for Sunday Scramble at @bicesterheritage tomorrow, really excited to see what’s on display but also apprehensive about the 200 mile round trip! Some spares and tools packed but I’m bound to need something I didn’t bring! #mg #mgb #mgbgt #sundayscramble #classiccar #classiccars #retro #vintage #mgcars

Nice shiny exhaust manifold in a grubby engine bay and nice shiny brake disc behind a rusty wheel! Mega impressed with the service at Redhill Classics who did the work, top blokes who are enthusiasts themselves, they also have a Lotus Cortina Snap-On tool chest which is a wonder to behold so worth a visit if you’re local #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #retro #vintage #mossmotors #mosseuropeltd

Couple of jobs done today in preparation for Sunday Scramble @bicesterheritage in a couple of weeks, the first was removing my driving/fog lamps, one had a smashed lens and the covers were getting tatty. The main issue now is the holes in my bumper (filled with horrid bolts for now) but places seem to be out of stock for replacements! At least I have a new grille on the way from @mosseuropeltd as it was on sale in their ‘top 100’ also got a new exhaust coming next week which I’ll pop pictures up of when it comes #mg #mgb #mgbgt #mgcars #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro

Another one from the weekend, need to get out with my drone again soon, always wanted to do some sort of aerial video/photo of my car but never been organised enough to do it #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #retro #vintage

A few more from the @bicesterheritage Sunday Scramble at the weekend #classiccar #classiccars #astonmartin #v8 #ford #mustang #fordgt #porsche #911 #porsche911 #vintage #retro #sundayscramble

A few indulgent ones from the weekend #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #retro #vintage #mgcars

New exhaust and front brakes fitted today but haven’t managed to get a decent picture yet so here’s the grille I bought from @mosseuropeltd in their ‘Top 100’ sale, looks to be decent quality but will find out when I try and fit it #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro #mosseurope
