I'm on the hunt for some information on behalf of my friends in the MG Car Club. My TNF pal Steve Wilkinson will kindly post the accompanying photo - it's been so long since I uploaded one I've forgotten how to. Thanks Steve.
The car in question is Ted Lund's MGA 1500 registration number NBL 273, driven by Ted Lund in the 1956 National Rally organised by The Motor Cycle Club from 8th to 10th November. The accompanying shot is at Hastings where the event finished.
The car still exists and the owner wants to find any reports on this event plus any others in 1956 or 57 where the car may have competed driven by Ted Lund or possibly someone else.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Fellow TNFer Roger Clark has provided me with the requested report - thanks Roger. I know once again my MG Car Club colleagues will be impressed by the fount of knowledge and information that is TNF.

"Can anyone identify the passenger/Ted Lund's navigator? And has knowledge of
persons who may have been involved in the preparation of the car or
generally preparing Ted's car possibly at the Preston Road garage, or
elsewhere?"
"The car must have had a fairly severe prang as on examination a very
professional repair had been made to the bulkhead which came to light when
this was sandblasted. Perhaps this will be remembered, maybe by someone who made the repair."
Thanks again in anticipation.

One other possible link to the TVR is that Bernard Williams an early director of TVR was a speedway rider before the war.
Ted Lund also shared a MGA with Colin Escott at Le Mans, Colin was an early 'works' driver for TVR. Anyone have more history on Ted Lund, Colin Escott or Oliver Hart.
Thanks Rob

Thanks, Rob. I have some entries for him in 59/60 in a Cooper. It is just peripheral info to be able to expand a narrative in my project.
