Because of its 1956 Studebaker Hawk grill this MGA is known as the “Hawk”. Originally a roadster, it was fitted with a fibreglass hardtop. Further it had a Marshall blower and a lot of period competition parts. The roll bar was barbershop striped in red and white. The air scoop is a later addition. The car was built and raced by Bob Lester, who owned the Foreign Car Hospital in Chicago. Bob was also a professional jazz guitarist and editor of a car magazine called wheel spin (The original MG Car club of Chicago). After Bob Lester died in 1966, the car was kept garaged and unused and untouched for around 40 years, so the mileage of 28000 is believed to be original. The car now resides in England.
