MG return

Following the sale of the ex-Doreen Evans R-type MG for £170,000, another of these cars, which Ian Connell raced pre-war, and which Sir Malcolm Campbell later drove, was raced again for the first time in 30 years, at MGCC Silverstone. It is now owned by Gerhard Maler, who has converted it back to single-ohc form, from its twin-cam McEvoyPomeroy state. Connell (left) and Bob Milton, who raced RA0257, were present at its active return, and it is again in Ian’s colours.
