Auto fanatic Mark Evans is heading to his workshop once more as the eighth ‘…Is Born’ series gets under way.
Mark and his sidekick Pete reunite to restore the ultimate English sports car, the MGB, as an MG is born.
First unveiled at the 1962 London Motor Show, the MGB fast became an icon, proving that a sports car could be both economical and fun and it remains the most successful sports car MG ever made.
It became a classic in its own right, also becoming the most popular British car ever to be sold in America.
Across just 10 episodes Mark completely strips and repairs or replaces every single component on the car.
He fully restores and up-rates the original B Series 1800cc engine, cuts out and replaces the sills, the boot, the floor, all four wings and both doors, finally painting the car in ‘James Bond Silver’ and refurbishing the interior in sumptuous red leather.
