And the MG ... wasn't it a sister car to the MG wagon that Andy Green (?) ran.  Time Only probably as it didn't fit class rules.

The MG Wagon was a C/GALT SoCal Speed Shop / Kiwi Steve  effort that I got to drive, not my hero and yours Andy Green.  We were shooting for a
200MPH time slip and ended up with a 225plus effort. - Big fun on my part and a great bunch of English guys - Pat Kinne

For Sale....  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/World-Record-Streamliner-/221180575131

Wish they would show current pictures of it.  I tried to view it last year when in Los Angeles but couldn't get a response.  Definitely still interested.  Thanks for posting -- I wouldn't have seen it.  Anyone have a direct contact for?  (PM me offline if available)

How about old Bonneville moving pictures?  Today, on my weekly Youtube search on Bonneville, I came across this:

Take a look at some the other videos that guy has posted, Daytona Beach, Sebring, Ab Jenkins, F1, etc.

Here are a couple more. There is a good interview with a young Al Teague in part 2 also shows Craig Breedlove crash in the canal in part 1. Question who is the announcer.
