JUNGLE SURVIVOR

BorneoMGHere's another fantastic story about a classic car wreck being found in the most unlikely of places and being restored to its former glory. This story goes back over 40 years and begins, would you belive it, in a Borneo jungle when Michael Standon came across a sorry looking 1954 MG TF1500. Amazingly there were trees actually goring through the chassis and, very unusual for any car, snakes had moved in.

While working on the island Mr Standon began the long task of restoring the car before eventually having the car brought back to the UK. The restoration was completed and Mr Standon continued to enjoy his MG until its recent sale at auction for £20,000 to Beef farmer Jodie Green.

So how did the car end up in the Borneo jungle? This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
