I often fondly recall my Frogeye Sprite . Every weekend it was round to my mates farm and do some welding normally around where the 1/4 elliptical springs were mounted. . I then progressed to a TR4 which was much faster . I could clock up to 120 mph on a good day . Whilst all this was going on we were building my first race car . Talked about on here many years ago the GT6. The TR had to go and ex GPO van was used to collect parts for the build . I remember when I purchased the fiberglass front end . Strapped on to the roof of the van. I went over a motor way bridge on the way back to my lockup and noticed the front end was flying through the air . We recovered by clambering down the hard shoulder banking . Lucky no harm done and I went on my merry way . Most happy days . It will all be in the book . Sorry to my much loved MG friends it was an Austin Healey that started this story . Me and Mrs Delta in Lake District for a week so you might be getting a few more Delta stories .?
