Her Majesty's Auto Service

OK, I haven't updated this in a while (2 years!). Time flies when you're having fun, and this job mostly is. (I'm going to update it again, someday soon! It hasn't quite been 2 years since I wrote what's below.)

Since then, we've stayed busy rebuilding engines and gearboxes (TR6, MGB, MGA, GT6 and Spitfire), bringing cars that have been off the road for decades back to life and keeping those that have been on the road all that time running great.

Some of the highlights were-

        Getting the Simon's TR6's body, frame, drive train and suspension apart, restored and back together.

        Tom Day's TR6 engine rebuild with Patton fuel injection and a T5 five speed from Geoff Dupont.

        The beautiful black and red TR4A that we assembled and got up and running for Ken Stone after his 17 years of patient work and parts accumulating.

            Building a bit of a hot Spitfire engine for Kyle Hick's 1969 Spitfire and putting a J-type overdrive gearbox in it.

        Assembling and installing a stout but mostly stock GT6 engine for Jim Egan's MkIII GT6.

We've also made lots of new friends and have gotten to work on their gorgeous and interesting cars and look forward to providing them and all of our long standing customers, with the service their cars deserve for many years to come.

This lovely pair of Morgans were a treat to work on

Using Plastigage to check the bearing clearance on Larry Hicks MGB engine.

The Borg-Warner T5 5 speed looks like it was made for the TR6, thanks to Geoff Dupont's kit ( www.Dupontmachining.com)

Paul Rego's TR6 on the dyno during the Boston Area MG Clubs dyno day. The +34hp and +30ft/lbs torque over his old engine aren't as significant as the fact that he now has over 90% of his peak torque from idle to redline!
