Bob and Douglas,
Don't have the book MG the Untold Story, but I do have "MGA a History &
Restoration Guide" by Bob Vitrikas. on page 155 and 158 are pictures of
EX210 raced in 1960 and 61. It is definitely a fastback coupe. All
aluminum body. Roof lowered 1-1/2". The two photo's show it pretty well.
No front bumper, driving lights mounted in the body, hood scoop (or
should I say bonnet scoop), fresh air intake hole in the body. A
different front end was done for 1961.
