I meant to post this 10 days ago but didn't get to it. 40 years ago, on October 2, 1959, Phil Hill set the record for the fastest MG ever in EX 181 at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Mr. Hill's speed of 254.91mph still stands today as the fastest MG on record. The Syd Enever designed EX 181 streamlined car, also known as the "Roaring Raindrop", still exists today and is on display at the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Museum at Gaydon.
