Yeah, maybe Daniel can chime in on that.

I would like to know more about "Specials".  
By this I mean the sports cars that UK folks built up themselves
during the post war era.

Sort of like the US hotrod culture.

Speaking of this very informative broadcast I was surprised to hear them
refer to the MG TC/TD/TF as Midgets.  Particularly since the mid to late
50's is when I "got" into sports cars here in SOCA where there were lots of
cars.  But I had never heard anyone refer to that series of MG as a Midget.
I had always thought the original Midgets were pre 1940 cars. But there are
lots of references on the internet that say otherwise.  Lear something new
everyday.
