Services offered and we specialize in Back to Top |
Tune-ups are NOT just replacing part! Often parts are not needed
Valves require careful and proper adjustment
Distributor needs servicing to mechanically and vacuum advance properly (often overlooked)
Carburetors need proper adjustment more often than replacment
|
| Engines |
Complete
rebuilds to expert advice installing the many different type cams or
carburetors, enhancing power and performance. |
| Transmissions |
Complete rebuilds; repairing
problems such as popping out of gear, grinding, leaks or installing one
of the new 5 speed over drives. |
| Rear ends |
Rebuilds to repairs, we specialize in TD and TF 4:3 gear conversions. |
| Suspensions |
Proper
rebuilds. It’s not just replacing parts, it’s about setting the thrust
and proper clearance so your newly installed suspension doesn’t clunk,
make noises. It’s about restoring the ride and handling characteristics
our British cars were originally known for. |
| Body Tubs |
We are experts in rust and body
repairs. Older British cars such as the MGT types and Morgan’s are coach
built. Wood pillars, main beams and supports need to be fit with
precision to the outer panels with proper contour so fenders, hoods and
doors fit the way they should! Many later uni-bodies
need chassis sprung weight to achieve proper alignment after total
assembly. |
| Rewiring |
Replacing a new harness is half
the job. Making sure all gauges, lights and switches operate properly
completes the reason for replacing the harness. Often we find the
harness is not the problem, but someone wired something wrong or
connections need cleaning. |
| Interior and upholstery |
Care is
taken to fit door handles, locks, seats, dash and panels. We have the
skill and knowledge to install you interior, top, tonneau cover and
curtains as original. |
Examples of interiors restored to original look. |

About Us Back to Top |

We were commissioned in 1979 by British Leyland to restore the 1949 MGTC for the “Drive a classic …Win a classic” campaign, here in the USA!
IN 1979 Mr. Len Alcaro of JRT (the old BMC corp.) contacted our firm to supply a totally restored MG-TC to give away as the very last endeavor of the MG car company. We supplied, and restored this car which was showed at the NYC car show in 1980. Since then we have restored a variety of automobiles including Rolls Royce, Bentley, Jaguar, Austin Healey, Triumph MG, Sunbeam etc.We do it all and we are always available. We offer help with partial or total restorations, repairs or simply do whatever you wish to complete your project. Enthusiasts take advantage of our facility, expert help and advice solving their classic car problems! We started as a custom parts supplier, manufacturer of hard to get British parts. Complete auto restorations started in the late 1960’s and took on a whole new generation of specializing English automobile restoration sales and services. George Medynski the general manager worked a deal and became one of the first Moss Motors parts distributors. Working with E. Alan Moss who both manufactured and supplied English car parts to the trade and public. |

Testimonials Back to Top |
Dr. Myron Finkel – I’ve known George Medynski since Nixon was in the White House. I bought my first MG in the early 70?s, by the way, in its restored version, I have passed it on to my son Tal. George has been the only foreign car mechanic I have ever needed to know. George helped turn my interest from a hobby to a passion, his capabilities and integrity are simply beyond question. Over the decades he has patiently taught me lesson after lesson while explaining to me how these internal combustion beauties work. He has inspired me and bolstered my confidence to be as hands on as I am today. George has involved me in all of the problem solving and decision making exercises that come up over time. He has coached me with the finding and the restoration of what has become my ultimate foreign car- a 1954 Jaguar XK 140 coupe Over the years I have owned many vintage English cars, I don’t know if I ever found any other outlet that has offered me so many moments of enjoyment. George has been my teacher , my guide, my mechanic and my friend
Dr. Myron Finkel .
Joe Curto, SU Carb Service in college point NY. I have known George Medynski of M&G Vintage Auto/Tuxedo Motor Sport since the mid 70s, back in the era of what we call the hay days of restoration maintenance of the new MGs and all those great brands of cars like Jaguar, Triumph, Austin Healey Porsche etc. We were among many shops working on beloved cars. Our passion soon turned to actually going to England to the Great national Auto Jumble at Beaulieu in the New Forrest. Back then we were able to literally ship containers of cars and parts to the USA, which we did. I have known George for many years and still admire and respect the restoration work performed by George and his crew in Tuxedo NY. After supplying an MGTC to then JRT (Jaguar Rover Triumph) MG OFFICIALLY GAVE THE CAR AWAY AS THEIR very last endeavor as a car company and awarded M&G VINTAGE AUTO the first official title of BRITISH HERITAGE SUPPLIER AND RESTORER by the Heritage group in the UK.

On September 11, 2010, NNJR Concours hosted the first annual Red Mill Museum Concours d ‘Elegance. This event was an outrageous success, with over 75 Porsches in attendance. Fortunately, we were bestowed with the most perfect weather imaginable for a Concours event. People came from as far north as the Hudson Valley and south to Philadelphia. Cars ranged in age from as far back as 1956 up to 2011. Almost the entire lifespan of the Porsche automobile was represented. This event was also open to the public and over 200 people came to the event to enjoy the beautiful vehicles on display. The location of the Mill along the Raritan River allowed the vehicles to be majestically displayed and provided an incredible back drop for some magnificent photography. “In first place was David Deluca with his astonishing Aqua 1956 356 Speedster. David’s car was a magnificent example of Porsche heritage. It was really great to see such a strong showing in the 356 class.”
Concours is a challenging and competitive activity in which the beauty, cleanliness and originality of you Porsche is rated and scored. Judges with incredible knowledge and familiarity of Porsches inspect the competing cars. They look in places that you don’t even know exist! If you enjoy seeing great looking Porsches, if you enjoy washing, cleaning and waxing your car, if you like to see vintage Porsches then you’ll enjoy concours events. If this type of preparation seems daunting for you we also offer the wash and shine class. Just wash your car and compete for a People’s Choice award. No need to spend endless hours with a Q-Tip.
David 1962 MKII – My car never performed so good. Having an expert properly set up the carburetors, ignition and repair the heating problems created a totally new feel to my MGA. David Mark B. 1953 MGTD MKII - I can’t say enough, I never thought my TD would look and drive so good. George and his crew replaced the bad body tub “wood beams”, metal and had the door fitting perfect. After they completed a superior paint job, I finished assembling the car with their advice and help. It wasn’t until I talked to other club members that I realized the real quality of their work. Every body panel fit and aligned with ease. It pays to have an expert who is dedicated, knows the British cars and performs quality work. |
