A few weeks ago Shiraz contacted me to do an article and photo shoot about the MLE. Mine and Charles Arton's track car were photographed together, and Shiraz has just posted the results on his website.

Please go to this link http://www.sabeemer.co.za/

Just love my old girl!!! :=):

From a looks point of view, Charles has tried to copy the look of the original track car as close as possible. So the body and wheels are very close to that. We tracked down the spats from Paddy Driver, and made moulds of them, so they are exact replicas of the originals, which I have lying in my garage. As Charles's car is an original MLE, the bodies are identical. However, he has changed the motor, but has kept the original, so mechanically it is quite different, read more power. He bought the car as a racer, so most of the interior has been stripped out. So they are very close in some ways, and a bit different in others.
