University Motors

Received the following from another board:

UNIVERSITY MOTORS RESTORED

When, nearly one year ago, as the Michigan economy was collapsing and my wife Caroline's health failing, we had no option but to cease fulltime business. During the following seven months I cared for Caroline as the cancer sapped her strength, but never her will. Spending increasingly greater time with her at home, I simply could not attend to business. We sent notices to our customers thanking them for their years of support. We sent notices to our suppliers; we discharged our employees with severance; we had an auction to sell off shop equipment and MG memorabilia.

Caroline died in January. As I pondered my future, I could not escape the undeniable fact: MG is my destiny. We are now re-awakening University Motors.

My son, Brooks, has taken his mother Caroline's place in the office, we have two of our original mechanics back at work, and we are working to re-invigorate University Motors. We offer bench, line, and restoration services, as well as MG education via DVDs and technical seminars, on-site and off-site. Our new website will be online soon. We are not yet at speed but we are on the entrance ramp to full time business.

Our old advertisements read: A lifelong dedication to the marque. That statement is as true today as it was when we first used it. Thanks to all who have supported us through this very dismal and heartrending time. We hope to be of service to you during your MG ownership.

Isn't this great news - I wish John and team well. Looking for something to send them...

Thanks, Dave. Glad to see John and UM back in the game.

I am also very happy John is back on line and doing what he loves. I wish him the best.

Good News

John, welcome back! They say that it's hard to keep a good man down and that rings true in your case. All the best in re-invigorating your business. See you in Belleville!
