I recently got the lowdown on the white and black Mk1 S NBL 126E in the photo from ex Comps man Mike Watts :billycooper wrote:Just hi jacked this from MCR Facebook page, it's suppose to be at the comps in 66, looks more like maybe late 67 / 68, interestingly EJB still there 4 years on !
"This was Comps Dept engine guru's (Cliff Humphries) mobile test bed car which was also used as a runabout by staff for local errands etc. I remember it as a full race spec 1293cc complete with pawl key LSD which proved a right handful on the Queen's highway....although the cars are lined up in the compound of the MG Car factory in Abingdon, the buildings in the photo are obviously not the Comps workshops."
You heard it here first!
