Joe Wilson and his partner Emma recently called in to MGOC Spares on their way back from an epic 2500 mile, 10 day Grand Tour of the UK in their Grand Tourer, which took in the South West, Wales, The Lakes, Scotland, and Yorkshire. Joe told me that aside from a rumbling prop shaft (which he’s since ordered) the car had performed well, quite remarkable when you consider that Joe found his 1972 Harvest Gold MGBGT via Facebook Marketplace, just a few short weeks prior to the trip; purchasing for the princely sum of £1000!
‘All it needed was a few new parts from MGOC Spares to get it back on the road, despite standing for 25 years!’
"Whatever the work, the parts are readily available from MGOC Spares, they fit as they should, are great value, and the advice is second to none."
It helps that Joe is an accomplished engineer with 10+ years of professional experience in the automotive sector working previously for JCB. Joe took a leap last year, starting Wilson & Co Classic Car Restoration Ltd, based near Alton, Guildford. Since that time Joe’s scooped the ‘Exceptional Automotive Interior’ UK Business award 2024 🏆 👏 .
The impeccable Interior of Joe's flagship MGB
We admired Joe’s work on display earlier this year at the Practical Classics, Restoration Show held at the NEC, Birmingham. Joe told us that he likes working on Classic MGs, ‘whatever the work, the parts are readily available from MGOC Spares, they fit as they should, are great value, and the advice provided is second to none’. With a no job too small, no challenge too big approach Wilson & Co Ltd offer a raft of professional services, including servicing, repairs, maintenance and complete restorations.
