This vid, and the next episode, are a brilliant step by step guide to bringing an old car back to life! Excellent engineering skills, I look forward to watching the restoration of this MG, hopefully that's the plan. Would like to see you do an MG Midget too.

Another act of heroic bravery from "What's in the Workshop". With this & the Wolseley there will no need to guess, for quite some time!😀.....Glad to see another Great British Classic ....(Basket Case) saved from the crusher....or at least parts of.

Amazing really - good old rugged cast-iron engineering with that quiet ' tick-over ' and the radio was the gilding on the lilley !.I know of a pristine black late model with the black ' plastic ' bumpers and it looks really ' sharp ' and always attracts plenty of attention.She deserves to live again but get the Wolseley done first !.Great content .

Probably the worst job in the car world is getting twin carbs correct.

Great vid. You're a brave man. I'll be interested to see how much the rust has got to it.

I love these cars. I've always wanted one there better with the earlier chrome bumpers ❤

Joys of a ‘B’ series engine, same as the old ‘A’ series. As long as they have oil and petrol , they’ll run. Might pump half the oil out the exhaust but they’re damn near immortal. 😂😂😂

You might have to gap the plugs to 35 thou, they were known to run on after switched off.

Good question! I think I need to get it over the pit and make a proper assessment of how bad it is.

Everyone's wondering why it got parked in the first place. Rust and the cost of fixing it?

Oh, this is going to be good! Is it a prototype LDT weapon? But that’s better on two wheels (sometimes..). Looking out for future videos on this one. Thanks. Les
