History "The Roaring Raindrop" - 1957

I stumbled across this article about the British MG landspeed racer "the Roaring Raindrop" and thought I would share... if it has been seen before I apologize. Click for article and short video. (yeah, it's British, so?)

245mph with a 1500cc ain't too bad for 1957!

 

Absolutely amazing. Never seen this car before. Would be nice to have more details on the engine.
Thanks for posting!

 

VERY cool car.

 

MG has a lot of salt history.

 

I never knew that... love the shape, and I might have to look up more on that engine as well.
