MG racing history questions

[wzehring@cmb.biosci.wayne.edu (Will Zehring)]

Fellow fiends:

I'm curious about a page in the history of spridget racing.  Way back when 
they were new cars, didn't someone race a few one-off spridget coupes?  At 
Le Mans, or Sebring or something?  Who did this?  Where can I find out more 
about these cars and the history of the effort?  Were the cars fiberglas or 
metal bodied?  When did this happen?  Were the cars competitive?

Thanks,
