Storyline

Mark Evans is back in his workshop to restore a 1973 MGB Roadster back to Showroom in condition in this episode of the popular Discovery Real Time TV series. It's one of the last chrome-bumpered cars ever built, and Mark intends to turn it into a unique collector's item. Follow the world's best-loved amateur mechanic as he strips the MG down to every last nut and bolt, and painstakingly rebuilds it from the ground up. An MG is Born is a unique piece of MG history - the first TV documentary of its kind dedicated to the MGB - and almost certainly the last. This is a fascinating and detailed insight into the engineering, design and restoration of one of the world's most popular and well-known sports cars, and is a fantastic reference tool for existing or would-be MGB restorers.
