Hi,
Looking for period photo's and data on the MGB Charlie Conway raced under the Checker Flag name and then Naidu aquired it and did some fantastic times in it..
We sold BRU the FIA MGB back into UK last year and this may well be this years project , and would love some photo's to go on.
Or would look at doing a deal , we are after a pre TD ,P J TA whatever MG more suited for a geriatric team to prepare and race

Hopefully these will be of some use.

According to my maths 5.8 seconds for a 1/4 mile is an average of 155 MPH.

I went and visited Charlie Conway today. At 88 he Lives now days at Selwyn Village retirement home and is still very with it. He would love to see some of you old work and race buddies some time.
We bought our Lotus Elan Sprint from Charlie,when I think now what else was sitting in the showroom at that time ! Good to see he his healthy and still with it,someone needs to do a book on him.Always good to talk cars with him when browsing his stock.
Greetings George,
I have lost contact with Charlie and would like to visit him. I have spent endless efforts trying to find out his whereabouts via the Selwyn Village organisation without success and with endless frustration.
Please advise details here as I am sure that there will also be others having the same problem.
Special thanks, Trevor.
Great to see Charlie Conway alive and well. Lost my brother Anil Naidu some time ago and is great to see his racing photos. Wonderful memories...
I just went to the main admin building and they gave me directionsQuote:
