Ther's an article in the 1957 November issue of 'Sports Car Illustrated' or
was it 'Road and Track' that shows Ruddspeed equipment on the MM model
100/6.....check it out!!!
(i used to keep the issue on my desk at work but who knows what box it's in
that was 2 + yrs ago...)
 They made speed equipment for a variety of Brit cars..
  HTH,
