EX 186

This is a “one-off” race car built by MG in the Abingdon Competitions Department from 1956 through 1959. Designed to win at LeMans it was never raced. To avoid destruction, it was spirited away to the USA.

It was street driven before the engine failed and sat idle in a barn for 15 years. We purchased it in 1982 without engine, gearbox, and sundry bits. These have either been substituted, located, or remanufactured to complete the car.

Based on a relatively standard MGA frame it has an aerodynamic all aluminum hand formed body. It is Twin Cam powered with DeDion rear suspension, Dunlap disc brakes and centre-lock wheels.
