German historic registration. During the restauration I began to consider installing a lower race windscreen, because I personally always thought, that the high original windscreen disturbs the very elegant and smooth design of the car.
Then I found some informations about the MG work race cars driven in Le Mans in 1955 by Ken Miles and his collegues...
Well, that inspired my and that's why the car is what is is now.
Getting older, my focus is now on my MGBs.
