Kai,
For the Tourist Trophy Race of 1955, one of the lightweight LE Mans
MGA's was fitted with Girling front-wheel disk brakes, reprofiled front
wings, Riley Pathfinder small-diameter auxiliary 'headlamps', and a
prototype Morris Engines Twin-Cam engine of 1,489cc. The car was forced to
retire when hastily made inlet manifolds developed hair-line cracks, air
leaks, and ruined the carburation.(BL)

You are dead right, it was a Twin Cam, congratulations on spotting it.

Been driving MG's since 1962.
