Story

Between September 1st and 5th 2011, Paul and David Shannon drove their 1974 MGB Roadster from Lands End to John O'Groats... by B-Road.

Our aim was to raise £1,200, £1 for every b-road mile between Lands End and John O'Groats. We surpassed all our expectations with this total and thank everyone for their generosity. We are very grateful.

In return for your sponsorship we are sharing our story, pictures and the odd video on our website: www.bybroad.com from our five day adventure.

We extensively restored the MGB since January 2011. New engine, wiring loom, brakes, interior and some welding. Huge thanks are owed to Abingdon Car Restorations for the generousity of their time and parts when getting the car ready for us.

Paul and David.
