1962 Sebring MGA - MK I Coupe Deluxe cars. Three cars were built and all three survive today. - No 1622 engined cars were entered, as that would have put them in larger engine class.

#51 on the cover of Autoweek, January 21, 1980

Car #51 is currently owned by John Kelly and will appear at NAMGAR GT 27 in Charlottesville, VA in July 2006. John says he raced the car until it broke a ring and has been parked ever since. The car is in exactly the same state since the 1980 photo above. It also appears in the survivors series book, and that photo was taken just after he purchased the car from a friend. He mentioned that he may restore the car for sale.

Car #52 seen here at MG2006 in Gatlinburg, TN, in June 2006.
