Correct.

Simon Hamilton-Smith Raced his MG Midget under LPG power sponsered by

Landi Hartog who manufactured the systems to convert the cars to run on gas. He finished 16th overall from 22 starters

Oh no, I've won another one of these I'm going to really have to stop now before I'm king of the anoraks.

I'll throw it open to anyone else who'd like to ask a question... preferably one of the regulars on this thread who's not had the chance to ask one so far !

Hopefully there should be a picture attached!

Can anyone tell me what this car is, what race was it taken at and what year?


Clue:
it was taken in the first half of the 80's

Oh no, not another one correct... I suppose I'm ready for the anorak equivalent of what Martin Fry of ABC used to appear on stage with !
