The MMOC attended the Stoneleigh restoration show once again and had two cars on the stand to work on. Sam's 1972 TC Saloon and Dave Richardson's 1978 Mk2 1800 Saloon.
We worked on both cars over the day repairing Sam's exhaust and brakes. Dave's saloon got treated to a new choke cable and a few other jobs.
The organisers were impressed with what we did with the space and our involvement/interaction with the public.
We won 3rd place overall in the club category so thanks to all involved! £100 towards club funds! This will be put into the remanufactured panels/hoses etc.
Ben.

Thanks Sean! It was a good chance to get the MOT work done on Sam's TC and everyone chipped in!

Who do I have to contact to buy one of those umbrellas?
Great job by the way. That red TC buffed up nicely.
