This car was produced in the MG factory on the 12th of October 1939 as the 332th piece of 379 MG TBs built. It was first registred as 9th of ten MG TB police cars for in Dover, UK with the first registration plate GKL 69.
Engine and mechanics have been modified by Harry Lester for racing direct after the WWII. The car stayed in the inventory for another 10 years used probably only for testing of modifications and bodies, no racing history is known in that time.
In 1954 Harry Lester prepared 5 new bodies in aluminum, three for Le Mans 1955, two for Mille Miglia 1955, one of them an open two-seater. But the Monkey Stable racing team decided to rebuilt them in fibreglass, so the aluminium bodies never raced and stayed in Lester‘s inventory. The original chassis and engine were connected with the OTS prototype M15 body in 1955 or 1956 by Harry Lester from the sold inventory to Peter Cottrell. He sold it later to Lorraine Engineering, based close to the Goodwood circuit, who run the car at least until 1959.
The car stayed later with two owners from Havant, UK, which is also close to the Goodwood circuit, probably used for amateur racing for a couple more years. The car was then 25 years dry stored over there as a non-running project until sold to Germany, where the restoration of the car was finished in 2007 and drove the car in 2010 AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix at Nürburgring and in 2020 the 1.000 miles of Czechoslovakia. The car is currently road registered on a Czech historic registration plates.
