24 May 2026: The MGTF build hub is now live. The first video has now been added and the project is officially underway.
This page will be updated as the MGTF moves through inspection, repair, preparation, road testing and final detailing.
The aim is simple: show the real car, the real work and the full journey before entries officially open.
Watch the first MGTF rebuild video below. This is the start of the project and the first step in documenting the car publicly.
Follow the full MGTF rebuild as it happens. More workshop videos, updates and behind-the-scenes footage will be added here as the project progresses.
Next update: Initial mechanical inspection and cooling system checks.
Trust matters in online prize competitions. That is why this MGTF project is being shown openly from the start.
Rather than simply listing a finished car and asking people to enter, we want visitors to see the work, the process and the real car behind the competition.
This gives people a clearer view of what they are following, what they may be entering for, and how the car progresses from workshop project to finished prize.
This 2004 Rover MGTF started life as a tired project car with plenty of issues needing attention. Instead of breaking it for parts or sending it to scrap, we decided to rebuild it properly and document every stage publicly.
At Win A Classic, we believe classic car competitions should be transparent, genuine and built around real enthusiasm for cars. That is why we are showing the full journey from workshop project to finished prize car.
Throughout the rebuild you will see:
Every stage of the project will be shared here, across our YouTube channel and on social media before entries officially open.
The first stage is to inspect the car properly and identify the main mechanical, cosmetic and safety jobs needed before it can become a finished prize car.
We will work through the key MGTF areas including cooling system checks, suspension, brakes, running condition and general reliability.
The interior, hood, trim, paintwork and overall presentation will be improved so the car feels like a proper weekend classic rather than just a project.
Before entries open, the MGTF will go through final checks, detailing, photos and video updates so visitors can see exactly what is being offered.
Once the car is ready, entries will open and registered users will be notified first.
Entries will open once the MGTF rebuild and preparation work has progressed enough for the car to be properly presented.
