MODEL & YEAR DESCRIPTION IMAGE
EX 172 A TD with a tuned engine and lightened chassis. Built for 1951 Le Mans, could do 120mph.
EX 175 A 1952 development of EX 172 and the forerunner for the MGA.
EX 181 Record breaker In 1500cc supercharged mode it did 204.2 in 1957. It also did 245.6 mph in 1957 with Stirling Moss at the wheel with an over-bored 1506cc supercharged motor.
EX 182 Le Mans special, based on radical MGA, did well in their classes in 1955.
EX 186 Research said "Still-born due to racing demise, based on MGA in wild trim with twin cam, and alloy body, no car exists today."

In 1999 I was contacted from the U.S.A. by 'Joe' the man who has EX186 in his garage and care!

Fantastic and a real surprise. The power of the Web community rules.
