Name: Peter D. Perry
Carmake: MG
Carmodel: MGA
Year: 1959
About: This car was restored to be enjoyed with emphasis on its racing heritage. The car is setup much like the factory MGA race cars that ran in the 1956 Alpine Rally. The original 1500 cc engine has been rebuilt to pump out over 100BHP and its driveline is equiped with a factory close ratio gearset. Like the factory prepared rally cars this little red roadster has an original and very rare Vanden Plas alloy hardtop. It's carried me with grin from ear to ear over 30,000 miles of northeastern country roads for the last 9 years.
