PKG1 (Now has a different rego) is known to be the 1960 Tulip Rally MGA Twin Cam driven by Mr A Hesp. You can see from the photo, the spare wheel is an MGA Twin Cam Wheel. Can this car be reclassified as an MGA Twin Cam coupe please. |

This is YM1 553 Twin Cam Coupe 1958, owned by myself, it has since had a colour change to black, still on the road and looking for as much history as possible. Mr Arthur Hesp was the first person to own the car and was a Goldsmith in Cardiff. Stu Burgess. |

Looking closer at the rally plate, it looks like Monte Carlo with possibly no. 251? Stu. |

#281 on 1960 Monte Carlo was an MGA driven by Frank James Powell/Desmond Tilley, started from Paris, not listed (as far as I can tell) as a finisher. As Powell was the main driver on the 1960 Tulip for PKG 1 (with SH Ashcroft), I guess this is same car. If PKG 1 (#YM1/553) was a works or works-assisted entry, it's not listed at this page of significant Twin Cams, although both YM1/551 and YM1/552 are there, plus YM2/554, so 553 was probably significant as a development car of some sort. This seems confirmed by this entry in the MGA Register Production record - Chassis number YM1 / 553 Type Twin-Cam Body colour Black Trim colour Black Hood colour - Production start date 1958-06-23 Production finish date 1958-09-01 Dispatch date 1958-09-05 Type of wheels Dunlop Destination market Home Market Accessories Competition Seats, Heater, Oil Cooler, Windscreen Washer This car is known to be in Great Britain (UK) -- Last edit: 2017-01-06 20:00:46 |
