As you will see she's a "left hooker", as were 80% of the TFs built. We're active members of the South West Centre of the MG Car Club and together we've managed to win the annual South West Drivers Championship three times .
In 2001 we won the MG Car Club's Luffield Speed Championship . To do so we amassed 94 out of a possible 96 points, beat ~ 100 other MGs, travelled nearly 4,000 miles competing at such venues as Prescott , Goodwood, Silverstone, Shelsley Walsh and Wiscombe .
In 2010 we won the Kimber Classic Trial, an annual event run by the South West Centre that includes some of the hills used by trials cars in the 1930's. My navigator Mike Serle compiled short utube videos of the 2010 and 2011 events. The first test just involved coasting down a damp grassy hill as fast as possible before stopping astride the finish line, it gets much more interesting about 2mins in!
