And now for something completely different - a labour of love designed by the late classic car restorer and long-term VSCC/MGCC member Tony Miles, who witnessed its completion but sadly never had the chance to race it.

Tony had MGs from the age of 21, starting with an MGA. From 1959 to 2004 he owned the MG PB 'Green Goddess' that finished 2nd in class at Le Mans in 1937 and, having fully restored it, proudly paraded the car at La Sarthe 50 years after its first visit. He competed at Thruxton, Gurston Down, Silverstone, Wiscombe Park, Longleat, Brands Hatch and Etretat Benouville, to name but a few venues, and as a Volvo enthusiast helped introduce the Volvo Owners Club's Motorsport Challenge.

The 'Green Goddess' was sold so he could concentrate on building a single-seat MG PA racer that he dubbed 'Green God'. Almost entirely created from original MG parts, it is powered by an 850cc supercharged PA engine that drives through an ENV 75 gearbox and clothed in a bespoke aluminium body. Various experts were employed to assist in this unique car's completion, in particular: Tom Thornton of Coachbuilt Cars (bodywork); Graham Hart (paintwork); Bob Jones of Baynton-Jones (engine/gearbox); and Dominic Rudd of Rudspeed (final assembly).

Finished in a combination of Mid Brunswick Green and Eau de Nil and trimmed in Red, this exciting racer has yet to turn a wheel in anger. It is registered with the MG Car Club and not surprisingly considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and gearbox. Tony Miles was renowned for the quality and authenticity of his vehicles and, though it's sad he never got to compete with his last creation, nothing would give his family more pleasure than seeing it go to somebody who can use and enjoy it as intended.
