This is a very quick car and is a home on the track. The handling is excellent and perfectly balance. Since in my ownership it has been slightly de-tuned to make it more comfortable for road usage. The car has been cherished for the last 22 years by its current owner and prior to that, owned and rebuilt in 1980, then raced by Derek Baker of BHB Engineering for 12 years between 1980 to 1992, wining three overall MGA championships and with many other wins to its credit. Retired from racing from 1992 and used by Derek for the occasional run out until sold on 10th July 2001 when purchased by its current owner.
Only selling due to other commitments and not really having time to enjoy driving this great piece of classic MG Engineering. I have really enjoyed owning and driving this car to many events including Le Mans & Le Mans Classic on many occasions over the last 22 years. Always been garaged in it’s own heated workshop.
