Uh huh. Keep it up. Apparently ya’ll didn’t learn from Tabitha #SFZOO reference
MG EX181 (1957)
—MG what?
Think of the EX181 as an MGA on steroids. This car had the engine from an MGA (1.5 liters) but it was running on 86% methanol laced with nitrobenzene, acetone and sulphuric ether (I have no idea of what I just wrote, see it here)
So, in 1957, MG have asked our good man Stirling Moss to take it for a spin on the Bonneville Salt Flats. The result was a world record of 245mph (395kph) and a great day for MG.
Two years later, a slightly refined version of the engine was put to the test again, this time by Phil Hill, setting the record a bit further at 254mph.
—While I’m at it, have a very nice week!
