"I've just been having a look at your latest pictures that Peter McKercher has contributed to the site. 

Straight away I recognized Ken Miles MG R1, but I haven't seen a picture of it in this colour.  I checked my folder of Ken Miles magazine articles and bingo, R & T  Feb 77 has a b/w picture of the car and driver similar to the  McKercher picture. The article says the driver is Dusty Miller. I think the slide is back to front though as the car was right hand drive."

"Ya know what…that guy behind the wheel looks a lot like my Dad…?? (Bob Oker)  He drove for Dusty Miller many times in the 1957 to 58 time frame driving his Maserati 150S. The car was red with number 8…  I don't recall Dusty owning the Miles' MG R-1 car but Dad often wore Hawaiian shirts like that and he used a visor like the one in the picture since he wore glasses.  And the general seating position of the driver with his hands on the wheel and his head angle looks like many pictures I have of Dad…and compare the helmets in these two pictures...?? This would be kinda ironic since Dad and Miles were not exactly best friends…!!"

"Looking at the latest pictures on your site the MG R1 painted red and the one in green with #58 on the side both have the same driver because his helmet has polka dots on it."
