MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Vantage Motorsports MGA

In talking with Barney, I had occasion to look up some old articles about a car built by a company called Composite Autobody (later Vantage Autosport) using a lightweight Kevlar MGA coupe body on MGA frame with removable top and Toyota Twincam engine.

I have sent Barney a copy of a couple of articles I collected from the 1991/2 period, which he may post, but was wondering if anyone had ever seen one of the no doubt limited production cars?

I have put articles on these cars up (temporarily) at:

and

I have converted the two magazine articles which Bill sent into HTML format (standard web pages), which uses much less data and downloads quicker as a web page with no Adobe Reader required. See here: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/variants/vt106h.htm

Apparently there is another article which was published in Sports Car International, which I have not seen yet, but if I can get a copy I may post that one as well.
