The car is owned by Andrew Spraqnza and was accepted for the Pre-Historics
until it got to the track! The car has been prepared to run the current La
Carrera races. What a car!! Basically a space frame chassis, dry-sump oil
system, trick high voltage ignition, drilled vented rotors with Brimbo
calipers and it goes on and on. Lots of time and $$ spent on this car but
its about as far away from being a "vintage car" as can be, certainly not a
HMSA car! It certainly raised more than a few eye brows at Laguna.
I hope this clears up the phantom MGA in Green.
