Matt Tomkins’ MGB feels its age and mileage

Want your classic to drive like new? We show you how.

I’ve enjoyed using my MGB GT for a number of years now and am not afraid to tackle large distances in it, or put plenty of miles under the wheels each a year. It’s a lovely car, however I recently had the opportunity to drive a really low mileage example and mine felt enormously tired after this. It works perfectly and is kept in good order – so why does it feel worn-out. And what can I do about it?
