Yes, i did, it had a rather odd exhaust header set up on it,
It was eventually repainted red, i caught up with it at a local Brisbane car show a few years back, looking way better than when i owned it!

Recently, getting back to the racing, Brian Henderson, in the Ex Jack Scoville No 4, and I have been running head to head in some fairly hotly contested races here in Sustralia, at Eastern Credk, and at Morgan Park,, the pair of us are having a barrell of fun.
Brian was recently in USA, racing a Steve Link car.
Long story short, i could be taking my Australian race car to USA in 2013 to run it at some of the big events.
I have been told some of the USA guys would like to see it in action!

And , Ideaman, if and when you get to Brisbane send me a message, we can catch up, and compare cars!

That it did ... Well it's silver now ... It's Mine ... Been a long haul to where it is today ! You have any history of it before you purchased it ??

Ps Alastair kept the headers as a sort of wooden spoon prize ! Everything is rebuilt since then !

A mate ( pal for Aussie's ! ) has put up a few youtube videos of me racing at Morgan Park Qld

WICKED!
what does the BGT have under the hood it absolutely squirts away from you!
Love the mixup with Porsche and Alfa
great footage!

Could it be an MGC or maybe an MGB GT/V8?

^maybe
what an incredible race!
would be badass if you could bring the roadster to the states

wow
wow
wow!

this race was heart pumping!!!
must watch!
what the heck is in that MG???
beautiful driving she RIPS!

The orange MGB runs a 4600 cc alloy V8 on Quad Weber DCOE carbs, very trick rear end, 13" x 10" rims on slicks.
Mine runs a stroked/bored U20 on 50 Solex's, all the factory comp parts, 8" wide rims on taller semi slicks/road rubber.
Both our cars are genuine period racers mine from late 1960's, the MGB from a later race period in late 1970's.
We also race with Prod Sports up to year model 1976.

YES i would love to bring it over Stateside, a mate here, Brian Henderson, who owns the ex Scoville no 4 car, went over last year, raced in a couple of events, got the borrowed car he was using faster by around 12 seconds a lap, not sure who or where though!
The logistics of getting a car too and from are a bit beyond me and my capabilities!

No replacement for displacement!!!

Can you provide a link to pictures of the orange MGB, I would love to see the induction setup, neat little motor.
Awesome that all cars are period, what an exciting race!
