This was taken at a Silverstone test session, probably 1976, but I am really not sure, as I do have a pic taken in 1977 at the British F1 GP, so it might even be early 1977. Accurately dating pics from sessions like this is almost impossible as I wasn't keeping a diary from 1970 to 1990!
There was a very successful MGA (and also an MG T series) championship running in the late 1970s and although I know this is Cadwell Park, Lincolnshire, once again, no date.
Nicky Ellis in the very successful Cowgate sponsored Lotus Elan. The stars on the side reflect the race wins. Apparently this very potent car was eventually shipped to the USA.
A more recent pic (2012). This very rare Q type MG is undergoing a full restoration in Sydney. The quality of the restoration, in what is effectively a private workshop, is just stunning. The figures spoken of the cost of purchase and the cost of restoration (for a paying customer) made my eyes water...
