🏁 A little bit of British motoring history on the move today…

Today’s job was rather special, collecting this beautiful MG Midget and giving it a lift to to the garage for repair.

At somewhere around 80 years old, this beauty is still turning heads as we drove by.

It’s always a privilege to move something with this much history, and today was a nice reminder that vehicle recovery isn’t just about broken down cars.

Sometimes, we’re trusted with a little piece of motoring history. ❤️

Another unusual one for the Mercury Towing collection! 🚛💨

Ford Focus ST surprisingly drove onto the trailer and wasn’t “Found On Road Dead” 👏😂
Will still need to be “Fixed Or Repaired Daily!”

Always a pleasure to have this Dodge Charger on the trailer. 👌🙂

No keys for this beautiful 4x4 with a snapped timing chain. 🤣

X4 skates and she’s on!

I almost forgot to take photos of this E-Type Jag! Loaded ridiculously close to front of the trailer to allow room for the newly painted bonnet to be loaded on the back.

Safe journeys start before you leave the driveway.
