- Brandy the MGB GT has been sat in her garage untouched for about 12 months. Leane hasn't been able to drive her so far this season whilst being pregnant but we can't resist bringing her out for the Jubilee bank holiday weekend! Let's see if she'll start up and come out of hibernation!

Kudos to Leanne; those were some truly spectacular pregnancy gymnastics 😂😂😂.
Hope you are doing well.
What a much loved car that MGB is.
She's properly been driven and stored .
I can't wait to see you two getting on with her.
Love the music choices. I hope you do post some playlists.
Thanks! She enjoyed her day out of the garage that's for sure! Leane is doing well thank you. She really does love that car, always wanted one since she was little 😁
Brilliant the MGB started great well done Leanne 👍👍 the car polished up nicely 😎😎😎😎
Not too bad considering we didn't even get a bucket and cloth out!
You guys are my favourite you tubers. Lovely MGBGT, but... I spy a delicious Triumph Stag. Will we be introduced to that wonderful machine?
Thank you very much Sean! You sure will.... Keep an eye out. The stag will be getting its own series in the near future 😁👍
I'm not surprised it started, I recently got one going and running well in less than an hour that was asleep since 2012. Amazing
When I first got her she had been sat in pieces for 8 years.... Put everything back together and she was up and running in a few hours too! Brilliant cars 😁
That’s a super car Leanne and absolutely brilliant it started after all that time and people knock our old British sports cars bless them . Looking forward to seeing Brandy getting the workshop treatment one day 👍
Thank you Bigsquatch! Brandy's day will come.... Someday 😁👍
Lovely BGT! I really like the wheels. I have a Midget out in my garage that could use a wash as well. By the way, I fabricated a wood overlay for my dash too. Sure beats the black plastic we got here in the USA.
That exhaust note would be the perfect soundtrack, driving home, anytime, from anywhere. Lovely Jubbly.
It really is a good note to drive to!
Should have taken the plugs out and put a few drops of oil into each pot and replaced the plugs before starting. Saves a potentially broken piston ring. Also, I would personally have pulled the choke out before turning it over. Well started, though, and well done!!
Wow that looks awesome!!
Love those wheels and the tasty upgrades to keep it up with modern life, but being respectful to its charm.😍
Love the channel guys! 👍🏻👍🏻
A very good example guys. And to think the MG Midget (now that's not pc these days!) was even smaller! She does need treating to a nice set of wire wheels..... 👍
Yep the midget is even smaller! Brandy won't be getting wires..... There might be wires going on something else in the future though 😉
@@WhitelandRestorations So glad that you've decided not to use wire wheels. They're a lot of extra work to keep clean, not as strong, and they don't look right on a BGT.
Thanks for this one. 🙂👍 I've always liked the looks of the MGB GT, so it's a real treat to see one looking good and still working well. Am I correct in saying that she'll be 50 years old next year? If so, then it will be a perfect opportunity to give her some beauty treatment!
You are correct! She'll be 50 on the 18th June next year....not that I'm counting the days lol. We'd love to have her in for a full teardown and resto for her birthday but there are a lot of cars in the queue. She will be getting done at some point in the future though thats for sure. She deserves the best. 45k miles from new on the clock and even through she's nearly 50 she still loves to go out for a good blast in the country lanes 😁
The lady certainly knows and loves her car, very nice to see.
Wow, didn’t that MGB GT clean up really well. I sympathise on the clay baring, I’ve just done my Merc and it’s a slow process and needles repeating if not done correctly…ask me how I know!
She certainly did.... Might treat her to a proper going over, might have to wait till next season though 😂 go on... How do you know lol
Try a clay mitt. May not be quite as good as a lump of clay but not as tedious.
What a really nice Bgt, and well behaved too , ie no hissy fits from being locked away!
You are both great guys, don't stop with your videos, you are popular on you tube and ignorant people like me can learn SOOOOO much!
Sounds like there is old petrol on that tank, but what a car, beatiful inside. I do like the walnut trim, but it's not everyones cup of tea...
4th time lucky. What are the wheels originally off?
They are actually club sport wheels from the MG owners club. Don't think they are available anymore?
Funnily enough my 72 is pretty happy to start oddly!!! Dare I say they are fairly reliable if loomed after.
Love the grill. That looks terrific and sounds great.
That's a lovely B, but aarrghhh....those wheels! 😄
And are those fake disc rotors at the rear?!
I've always thought you guys at Whiteland were people of great taste.
Now I can see I was only half right! 😂
I love those wheels. Makes my MG stand out. Haven't seen anyone else with them. They are not fake brake discs, they are brushed drum covers. Makes it look cleaner in my opinion. Each to their own 👍
Love this channel, charming and informal :)
And congratulations on the pregnancy!
This can only be a car crazy guy or a car crazy woman!
Thank you!
Leane sure knows her car. Miss Involvo'd said it suits her. Who did your camera work?
Leane says thanks! 😁 That one was all filmed on mobile phone.... Laura did the camera work at the start and Mr Tripod finished it off lol.
@@WhitelandRestorations The camerawork on my videos?!🤨
Naturaly me! It is my car, I restore it, so I hvae to do some photos on my own!😉
@@WhitelandRestorations I honestly thought it might have been hubnut as he was over with you guys helping move cars 😂 Laura is going places
She had her first driving lesson today in the van! Nearly took out a tree.... Will be putting that up 😂
@@Involvod Sorry, who is or what is "hubnut"?😵💫
Google doesn't give it!
And unfortunately I'm from Germany.🙄
Your MGB is crying out for a set of original Rostyle steel wheels, Leanne. The 1990's 5 spoke alloys aren't doing it any justice. Great channel BTW 👌
I remember driving my brother in laws mgb roadster (convertible) his one had the big black bumpers and 4 speed with overdrive Great cars
Great cars in all variants! 😁👌
Incidentally the unhappy sounds were the starter kicking in and out...probably low voltage.
I used to have identical wheels on my mgb :)
An absolute joy of a car- not jealous in the slightest 😂😂👍
Sounds good. Do you use a petrol preservative?
I use castrol Valve master plus every time I fill. Seems to be doing the trick 👍
Thanks for your quick reply.🙂 I'll give it a try. Petrol seems to go off so quickly these days
Nice car. Gotta love a B.
Thank you! Really missing driving her
Lovely car but am i seeing things or are those mx5 wheels im seeing?
Thank you. Nope they are not Mx5 wheels. They are a limited run of wheels by the MG owners club 👍
What did you coat it with?
It's mentioned in the video Duck oil 6:14
Yeah duck oil poured into a squirty bottle. Squirted under every rubber seal, nook and cranny and liberally coated all over!
That's the one!
@@WhitelandRestorations just looked up what duck oil was…. Not cheap is it?
I usually just spray all bare metal/chrome with wd40 on my e21 when hybernating .with trays of silica inside
No It's not cheap but it's really good stuff. It's heavier than wd40 and lasts longer. It's a proper oily oil, wd40 is more of a light penetrating oil. They both do the job for winter 👍
Red is a great colour for cars but the problem with it red fades
Great beautiful car.
Thank you Michel!
Has the MGB had a rear disc conversion?
No they are rear brake drum covers. Something different 😁👌
@@WhitelandRestorations oh I see. I did wonder that as I couldn't see any calipers.
The brakes are quite good on the MG so don't think I'll upgrade the rears on Brandy. The covers do make it look cleaner at the back, look better than standard drums too I think 😁
Pretty car. 👋
Thank you Kam!
Beautiful car ,I❤️these 👍
Thank you!
Id join that club
MX5 wheels?
Similar but different...... 😁
What absolute beauty
Thank you!
But you should think about the rims again!😉
Leane loves those wheels.... They raise many eyebrows!
I love watching your videos, learning, enjoying and having fun, but please, NO car from the 60's, 70's, or early 80's will start after TWELVE MONTHS like your MG!
---- No car, except mine!😇
Ha! No trick editing here..... She Suprised us all by starting lol
Lovely old MG
I've always fancied one of these, but the rust side of it puts me off
Rust can be an issue but as long as you take care of them they are the same as any classic really.
Leanne, your wheels look awfully like my MX5 Wheels (Michael David)also. can you remember who did the seat belt gadget may work for me? Saw 3 lotus Europas at a car meet in Knutsford today. with different dated badges couldn't take photos as kids in shot or owners eating lunch inside them.
They do look similar to the mx5 5 spokes but they are different... They are club sports, limited run by the MG owners club from what I have found out. Seat belt gadget was from Moss I think, I'd have to check. 3 Europas at one meet! That's a turn up lol
That reminds me to go see if my 1967 MK1 MGBGT is still in the garage where I left it a couple of years ago... 😀
Best get out and check that! She'll be getting lonely. Mk1 gt, that's a treasure! 👌
Wowzers those wheels are truly hideous 🤣
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Leanne don’t get in cars with your phone in your back pocket 😱
Forget about my phone every time 😂
Your daughter will be spoilt for choice , Leanne how did she get to about the Morris
Minor. She was not a,born when they produced in the 50s from Tom
