Another side of MG's racing heritage

Many enthusiasts seem to have a narrow perception of what MGB racecars looked like in the mid '60s.
Is it because the works endurance racers were built to look nearly stock? This article tells a less familiar story:

(fender flares, wide tires, a low profile windscreen, and a great big hood scoop on the "wrong" side)

Al Pease drives a victory lap after the sports car race that supplemented the 1964 Players 200, at Mosport.
He repeated that victory in 1966, defeating George Eaton in a Shelby Cobra and Horst Kroll in a Porsche 904 GTS.
Pease also won back-to-back Canadian National Championships and was voted "Driver of the Year."
The article describes the car's history, including its extensive and meticulous restoration by Mike Adams. Enjoy!
