The vehicle was built in 2010 by Will Maskell, who at the time was a mechanic at the MGOC workshop in Swavesey, Cambridgeshire. He started with a 1972 chrome bumper car, completely stripped it and remedied any rust issues, then rebuilt it with a Cosworth V6 engine, RV8 back axle etc. Full details are in an article that appeared in the MGOC Enjoying MG magazine in Jan 2011 (can email). The vehicle was sold by Will in 2011 to a member of my car club; I purchased it from them in November 2020. The odometer currently shows around 003331 but this is largely academic. Will Maskell advised me that he had no paperwork for the Cosworth engine but that he had been informed that it had covered around 60,000 miles prior to installation. I have no record of how many miles Will covered before selling the vehicle; my club member covered only around 4,300 miles in his 9 years of ownership and I have covered around 8,400 miles. Will’s view is that the engine should be good for around 200,000 miles if properly looked after.
