Hi Peter,
I've seen this thing a few years ago. It really is crazy!
It is displayed with one of the wheel changing platforms deployed to permit a change whilst the car is in motion supported on secondary wheels to raise that corner.
Other essentials I seem to remember included a Hubble bubble pipe.

Didn't Morris do a similar thing with a series MO in the 50s. I seem to remember a record breaking run around Sebring or Daytona where they had a series MO artic. shaped like a pallet truck that the record breaker pulled into (a speed) and the mechanics were able to walk/work a long the side. I presume they did driver changes the same way. Does anyone remember this or is my medication playing up again?

Penman,
Thanks for that. I really enjoyed it. After I had posted I thought perhaps I had got mixed up with the Austin A90 Atlantic endurance run at Indianapolis.

Hi
I think that back then everyone was trying to find some sort of record to set.
