Telford couple's classic cars go up in flames thanks to faulty garage light
- 5 months ago
A classic car bought by a husband for his wife's 60th birthday went up in flames just three days before Christmas.
A £6,500 MG Midget, bought by Malcolm Shingler-Day for his wife Beverley, plus a £2,000 Spartan kit car, were engulfed by fire in the garage at their home in Finsbury Drive, Priorslee, Telford on Friday afternoon.
Malcolm had spent thousands renovating the MG, both mechanically and on a smart new interior so the couple, who have been married for 33 years, could enjoy days out in it.
And he bought the Spartan to keep his mind occupied when Beverley was battling cancer in 2014.
