&lt;b&gt;1954 MG R2 FLYING SHINGLE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z13494/MG-R2-Flying-Shingle.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z13494/MG-R2-Flying-Shingle.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Ken Miles was born on November 1st of 1918 in Sutton Coldfield, England. During his early life he apprenticed at a British car manufacturer. During World War II, he worked in various duties that dealt with machinery and utilized his mechanical skills. He began motorcycle racing while in the service and this would continue after his tour. After World War II, he returned to the automobile industry and to automotive racing. He acquired a Frazer-Nash racer and installed a Ford V8-60 engine. It had mile success in local and club competition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• In 1952 Ken Miles came to the United States where he accepted a position as service manager for an MG distributor in California. Later, he would became involved with a wide range of teams and races and have a profound influence on early American road racing. His skills as a driver and fabricator quickly evolved and he became legendary on the West Coast with his competitive Specials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Miles first racer (that he constructed) was in 1953, while working for Gough Industries. He had been racing MG TD's for Gough, but they were often outclassed by the competition. Gough helped Miles with creating a racer, though he was unable to provide cash. What Gough did provide was use of any MG or Morris and any stock spare part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Miles began work on the MG R-1. The frame was created from mild steel tubing and attached to MG Series &amp;quot;Y&amp;quot; independent front suspension. The rear was comprised of a live axle. Alfin aluminum drum brakes with two-wheel cylinders were used to provide the stopping power while a Morris Minor rack-and-pinion kept the vehicle in the drivers control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Under the hood was an experimental racing engine that had a 1466cc displacement size. The engine would later be used by MG for their MG TF 1500. The engine had twin SU carburetors and a 10.5:1 initial compression ratio. The compression ratio was later increased to 11.6:1. The 83 horsepower engine was mated to a stock MG TD transmission which sent the power to the rear wheels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• The car was clothed in a hand-formed aluminum body. The overall weight of the vehicle was less than 1,230 pounds. The car made its inaugural appearance in 1953 at a rainy Pebble Beach. The car had not been tested but this did not seem to matter, as it emerged victorious. Throughout the next year, the car would win all of the races it was entered, except for two. Its racing career came to an end in 1954 at Pebble Beach, when it suffered mechanical difficulties and failed to finish the race. The flywheel bolts fractures which allowed the flywheel to come loose. This resulted in the engine over-revving and it threw a rod. The R-1 Miles Special's racing career had come to an end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• The second Miles Special racer was constructed in similar fashion to the first, but incorporated many key mechanical and design changes. Many MG components were still utilized, such as the gearbox and 1466cc MG XPEG engine. The space frame chassis was constructed from one-inch steel tubing which was lighter than its predecessor, but still retained the structural rigidity. To reduce frontal area, the driving position was lowered by nearly four inches. Other techniques were used to reduce the frontal area. The engine was tilted down in the front which did much to achieve this goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• The car was narrow and low, which meant changes were needed to fit all the engine components in the engine bay. The MG intake manifolds were installed upside down which allowed the carburetors to be angled and fit under the hood. The design of the vehicle was similar to the MG TF. This was done for brand recognition and to help promote the MG line of vehicles. There were differences; the R-2 had an envelope body with fenders that flared up, and over, the front and rear wheels. In the front was an MG style grille with headlights on either side. The car was finished in British racing green.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• The car was given the nickname, the Flying Shingle. Its inaugural race was in 1955 at Willow Springs. It failed to finish the race. Many of the other races in which it entered, it emerged victorious. Among its accomplishments were first place finishes at Pebble Beach and Torrey Pines. Miles was doing well in small-bore racing, but the competition was consistently keeping pace. Soon, a new machine was needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Miles acceptable a position at Johnny Von Neumann's Porsche dealership. He raced during the 1956 season in a Porsche 550 Spyder and began work on a new racing Special. With von Neumann providing a generous budget, and Porsche providing ample stock components, Miles was able to construct a proper, large-budget racer. Power came from a Porsche Carrera four-cam engine that displaced 1500cc. The chassis was a Cooper Bobtail with a modified nose. The suspension was an independent setup with drums in the front and rear. The body shell was constructed of aluminum which aided greatly in the vehicles low weight of just under 950 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Near the close of 1956, the newly created Special was brought to Pomona where it was piloted by Miles to a second place finish. At Paramount Ranch, the car was driven to a class win in the 1500cc class, and beat-out the big-bore modified class as well. The car was raced in 1956 and for part of 1957 before the von Neumann dealership was given the break they had been desperately searching for - a Porsche 550A. The car was supplied from the factory with orders to sell the R-3 Pooper Special. The R-1, R-2, and R-3 are still in existence in modern times. They are used in vintage competition and are shown at events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Ken Miles life came to a tragic end on August 17th, 1966 while driving a Ford J-car prototype. The car was traveling at 175 mph on a back-strech. Ken began preparing for a corner, slowing the vehicle down, but it went out of control and over an embankment. Ken was thrown from the car as it spun and went end-over-end. This tragedy brought an end to a brilliant career that began during the very early 1950s.&lt;br /&gt;

			<title>• James Brown - Soul Brother Number One. 2004 Monterey Blues Festival, California.</title>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/artamia/4369424782/&quot; title=&quot;• James Brown - Soul Brother Number One. 2004 Monterey Blues Festival, California.&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4011/4369424782_42474cf62f_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;177&quot; alt=&quot;• James Brown - Soul Brother Number One. 2004 Monterey Blues Festival, California.&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• James Brown: 1979: I'm back, Monterey, California.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRZijAu2EIE&amp;amp;feature=related&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRZijAu2EIE&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
• James Brown &amp;amp; Luciano Pavarotti - It's a Man's World&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Febr_t_qa9U&amp;amp;feature=related&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.youtube.com/watch?v=Febr_t_qa9U&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Get Up :: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fav0cE3JnDQ&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded#&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fav0cE3JnDQ&amp;amp;feature=player_em...&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;
James Brown was a hugely influential figure in black American music. He was a driving force in the development of soul music in the early sixties, and funk in the early seventies. He has had more R 'n' B hits in the US than any other artist and has charted singles in countries around the world. Here he is captured at his very best, taken from Live at Montreux, France.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &amp;quot;Soul Brother Number One&amp;quot;, James Brown was perhaps the best known and clearly the most successful black artist of the '60s and early '70s; his polyrhythmic funk vamps virtually reshaped dance music. With some 800 songs in his repertoire, the astonishingly prolific James Brown has influenced a wide range of contemporary artists from every genre... Number one rock, soul, jazz, R&amp;amp;B, and hip-hop. And his adamant refusal to conform to anyone's vision other than his own bolstered his icon status&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Brown's Live at the Apollo, recorded in Harlem in 1962 and patterned after Ray Charles' live In Person, sold a million copies, unprecedented for a black music album. In 1963, frustrated by King's failure to reach into the white market, Brown and Bart formed Fair Deal Productions. &amp;quot;Out of Sight&amp;quot; which Fair Deal released through Smash Records, hit Number One R&amp;amp;B, Number 24 pop. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Brown's revised contract with King in 1965 gave him complete artistic control. He revamped his band under the leadership of Nat Jones, and with his &amp;quot;Papa's Got a Brand New Bag&amp;quot; became a world-class force in popular music. Disposing of the conventional verse and chorus structure, eliminating even chord progressions, he distilled his sound to its essence: rhythm and, more specifically, &amp;quot;Brand New Bag&amp;quot;; topped the R&amp;amp;B chart, as did&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I Got You (I Feel Good)&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World.&amp;quot; After Alfred &amp;quot;Pee Wee&amp;quot;: Ellis replaced Jones as bandleader, Brown continued to score with &amp;quot;Cold Sweat&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Got the Feelin'&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Say It Loud&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;I'm Black and I'm Proud,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Give It Up or Turn It  A-Loose&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Mother Popcorn&amp;quot;; which were all Top 20 (many of them Top 10) pop hits. Concurrently, he recorded instrumental albums (a total of 11 between 1961 and 1971) that never attained great commercial success but, featuring his organ and piano work, continued his rhythmic explorations (tracks from the best of these can be found on the 1993 anthology, Soul Pride).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• The late '60s found James Brown a cultural hero, &amp;quot;Soul Brother Number One.&amp;quot; As a black man of wealth, independence, and influence, he was a symbol of self-determination and triumph over racism. He took that responsibility seriously. Songs such as &amp;quot; Don't Be a Drop-Out&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing&amp;quot; (Open Up the Door I'll Get It Myself)&amp;quot;, contained direct social messages. He sponsored programs for ghetto youth, spoke at high schools, invested in black businesses, performed for troops in Vietnam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Around 1975 Brown's popularity began to wane. Because of financial difficulties, Brown was forced to sell his three black radio stations and his jet. The Internal Revenue Service claimed he owed $4.5 million in back taxes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• With Brown inducted as a charter member into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, his revival was bolstered by &amp;quot;Living in America,&amp;quot; the theme song to Rocky IV.

• James Brown &amp;amp; Luciano Pavarotti - It's a Man's World&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Febr_t_qa9U&amp;amp;feature=related&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.youtube.com/watch?v=Febr_t_qa9U&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Get Up :: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fav0cE3JnDQ&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded#&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fav0cE3JnDQ&amp;amp;feature=player_em...&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;
James Brown was a hugely influential figure in black American music. He was a driving force in the development of soul music in the early sixties, and funk in the early seventies. He has had more R 'n' B hits in the US than any other artist and has charted singles in countries around the world. Here he is captured at his very best, taken from Live at Montreux, France.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &amp;quot;Soul Brother Number One&amp;quot;, James Brown was perhaps the best known and clearly the most successful black artist of the '60s and early '70s; his polyrhythmic funk vamps virtually reshaped dance music. With some 800 songs in his repertoire, the astonishingly prolific James Brown has influenced a wide range of contemporary artists from every genre... Number one rock, soul, jazz, R&amp;amp;B, and hip-hop. And his adamant refusal to conform to anyone's vision other than his own bolstered his icon status&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Brown's Live at the Apollo, recorded in Harlem in 1962 and patterned after Ray Charles' live In Person, sold a million copies, unprecedented for a black music album. In 1963, frustrated by King's failure to reach into the white market, Brown and Bart formed Fair Deal Productions. &amp;quot;Out of Sight&amp;quot; which Fair Deal released through Smash Records, hit Number One R&amp;amp;B, Number 24 pop. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Brown's revised contract with King in 1965 gave him complete artistic control. He revamped his band under the leadership of Nat Jones, and with his &amp;quot;Papa's Got a Brand New Bag&amp;quot; became a world-class force in popular music. Disposing of the conventional verse and chorus structure, eliminating even chord progressions, he distilled his sound to its essence: rhythm and, more specifically, &amp;quot;Brand New Bag&amp;quot;; topped the R&amp;amp;B chart, as did&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I Got You (I Feel Good)&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World.&amp;quot; After Alfred &amp;quot;Pee Wee&amp;quot;: Ellis replaced Jones as bandleader, Brown continued to score with &amp;quot;Cold Sweat&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Got the Feelin'&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Say It Loud&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;I'm Black and I'm Proud,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Give It Up or Turn It  A-Loose&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Mother Popcorn&amp;quot;; which were all Top 20 (many of them Top 10) pop hits. Concurrently, he recorded instrumental albums (a total of 11 between 1961 and 1971) that never attained great commercial success but, featuring his organ and piano work, continued his rhythmic explorations (tracks from the best of these can be found on the 1993 anthology, Soul Pride).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• The late '60s found James Brown a cultural hero, &amp;quot;Soul Brother Number One.&amp;quot; As a black man of wealth, independence, and influence, he was a symbol of self-determination and triumph over racism. He took that responsibility seriously. Songs such as &amp;quot; Don't Be a Drop-Out&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing&amp;quot; (Open Up the Door I'll Get It Myself)&amp;quot;, contained direct social messages. He sponsored programs for ghetto youth, spoke at high schools, invested in black businesses, performed for troops in Vietnam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Around 1975 Brown's popularity began to wane. Because of financial difficulties, Brown was forced to sell his three black radio stations and his jet. The Internal Revenue Service claimed he owed $4.5 million in back taxes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• With Brown inducted as a charter member into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, his revival was bolstered by &amp;quot;Living in America,&amp;quot; the theme song to Rocky IV. Recorded at the request of director Sylvester Stallone, the single (Number 4, 1986), included on the album Gravity (with guest stars Alison Moyet and Steve Winwood), won a Grammy in 1987 for Best R&amp;amp;B Performance. In 1989 Brown (with writer Bruce Tucker) published an autobiography, James Brown: The Godfather of Soul.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• He continued making music, however, releasing I'm Back in 1998, his first studio album in four years. On Christmas Day, 2006, James Brown passed away from congestive heart failure due to complications from pnuemoina.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Coachwork: Boano&lt;br /&gt;
Vin Num: 58WA10902&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The coachbuilding craft was in desperation after World War II. Many of the marques had brought the styling, designing and building of the vehicles in-house. The availability of suitable chassis also dwindled. At this time, many prominent coachbuilders worked hard to form alliances with marques, especially the American Companies who had deep pockets. Ghia created a relationship with Chrysler; Bertone with Packard; and Touring with Hudson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This companies looked to the coachbuilders for new designs that were bold and inspiring. Felice Mario Boano had acquaintances in the Ford Motor Company who were instrumental in aiding Boano in securing projects. Henry Ford II had just recently taken control of the company from his father, Edsel Ford. He was anxious to bring the Ford Company into a modern era and so, supplied Boano with a Lincoln chassis. Felice Mario gave the job to his son, Gian Paolo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gian Paolo had gained knowledge of the family craft from Liceo Artistico and then apprenticed in his father's company. The wealth of knowledge and experience of the skilled artisans and the family business were nurtured from one generation to the next. One of his first series production vehicle designs was the Lancia Aurelia 2000 while working at Ghia. His designs had Italian style with influences of the contemporary American automobile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project was intended for the 1955 Turin Motor Show. It was given the name 'Indianapolis', after the legendary race. The design was very futuristic, and probably inspired by airplanes and aviation. The result was a flamboyant and bold, but elegant concept. The design was graceful and full of detail. Little time had passed from when Ford commissioned the car to be built, to when it was on display at the Motor Show. The result was stunning, and led to Ford extending a contract to Boano. Felice Mario informed Fiat of the contract, which led Fiat to form the Centro Stile department. Boano was select at its leaders. Boano sold their coachworks to Ezio Ellena who was the husband of Gian Paolo's sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Lincoln Indianapolis Concept was shown at Turin, it was sent to the United States where it was consigned to Henry Ford II. It is believed that it was later given to his friend, Errol Flynn. During the early 1960s the car was involved in a fire and it suffered much damage. The interior was completely ruined. The car passed through ownership throughout the years and remained in un-restored condition for many of those years. It was partially restored in the 1970s before being put into storage for approximately 20 years. A very thorough restoration was performed during the early 2000s. Much care was taken to preserve the cars original appearance and to follow Gian Paolo Boano's original designs. The restoration took two years to complete. It is finished in its original bright orange with a black-and-white checkered interior&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The vehicle has three chromed faux exhaust pipes on the sides of the vehicle. Sitting directly behind them are tall air intakes with five chromed air splitters. There is no visible cooling air intakes in the long, front nose of the vehicle. The headlights are stacked with two on each side. The wheels are nearly covered under the fenders. The windshield wraps around and gracefully flows into the side windows and continues to the rear where it is met by another, wrap around piece of glass.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The interior is very clean with many of the instrumentation hidden away. A touch of a button reveals the drop down instrumentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The car has made an appearance at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, along with other prominent events and shows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1955 Lincoln Indianapolis Exclusive Study with coachwork by Boano was offered for sale at the 2006 Gooding &amp;amp; Company Auction held in Pebble Beach, Ca. The car is powered by a V8 engine that produces over 200 horsepower. There is a four-speed automatic gearbox, independent front suspension, and a live rear axle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At auction, the car was one of the highlights of the event; a duty it has been performing rather well since it was created many years ago. It was flanked by many other impressive automobiles and was one of the top sellers of the day. At the conclusion of the auction, the car had been sold for $1,375,000.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Felice Mario Boano is one of history's unappreciated and unknown coachbuilders. His work is mostly remembered for the Ferrari's that bore his name, but many of his other contributions are forgotten. During the 1930s, Boano created many of the great designs of Viotti, Bertone, Ghia, Farina and Castagna. Those marques affixed their names to his work and Boano continued to be hidden in the shadows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Giacinto Ghia was on his deathbed, he instructed his wife to contact Felice Mario Boano to save the company. Boano stepped in, along with Giorgio Alberti, and purchased the company. The work done while under the Ghia name is often remembered for their low-roofline designs such as the Alfa Romeo 2500CC, Lancia Aurelia, Karmann-Ghia, Chrysler K200, Alfa-Romeo 1900Ss and a few Ferrari 166 Berlinetta models.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Boano left the Ghia Company and surrendered his interests in the company after his relationship with Luigi Segre deteriorated. Boano's work was still in high demand and soon was tasked by Pininfarini to create the first designs for Ferrari's series production automobiles. when Batista 'Pinin' Farina left Stablimenti Farina to work under his own name, he brought Boano with him. This relationship would prosper for many years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1954 Felice Mario founded Carrozzeria Boano in Grugliasco which remained in production until 1957. He and his son, Gian Paolo Boano, were responsible for some of the gorgeous bodies that were given to the Ferrari 250 GT Series.

The coach-building craft was in desperation after World War II. Many of the marquee's had brought the styling, designing and building of the vehicles in-house. The availability of suitable chassis also dwindled. At this time, many prominent coachbuilders worked hard to form alliances with marquee's, especially the American Companies who had deep pockets. Ghia created a relationship with Chrysler; Bertone with Packard; and Touring with Hudson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This companies looked to the coachbuilders for new designs that were bold and inspiring. Felice Mario Boano had acquaintances in the Ford Motor Company who were instrumental in aiding Boano in securing projects. Henry Ford II had just recently taken control of the company from his father, Edsel Ford. He was anxious to bring the Ford Company into a modern era and so, supplied Boano with a Lincoln chassis. Felice Mario gave the job to his son, Gian Paolo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project was intended for the 1955 Turin Motor Show. It was given the name 'Indianapolis', after the legendary race. The design was very futuristic, and was probably inspired by airplanes and aviation. The result was a flamboyant and bold, but elegant concept. The design was graceful and full of detail. Little time had passed from when Ford commissioned the car to be built, to when it was on display at the Motor Show. The result was stunning, and led to Ford extending a contract to Boano. Felice Mario informed Fiat of the contract, which led Fiat to form the Centro Stile department. Boano was select at its leaders. Boano sold their coachworks to Ezio Ellena who was the husband of Gian Paolo's sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While working with Fiat in their design and styling department, they created such prominent vehicles as the Fiat 600 and the Simca 1000.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;1954 MG R2 FLYING SHINGLE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z13494/MG-R2-Flying-Shingle.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z13494/MG-R2-Flying-Shingle.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Ken Miles was born on November 1st of 1918 in Sutton Coldfield, England. During his early life he apprenticed at a British car manufacturer. In 1952 Ken Miles came to the United States where he accepted a position as service manager for an MG distributor in California. Later, he would became involved with a wide range of teams and races and have a profound influence on early American road racing. His skills as a driver and fabricator quickly evolved and he became legendary on the West Coast with his competitive Specials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Miles first racer (that he constructed) was in 1953, while working for Gough Industries. He had been racing MG TD's for Gough, but they were often outclassed by the competition. Gough helped Miles with creating a racer, though he was unable to provide cash. What Gough did provide was use of any MG or Morris and any stock spare part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Miles began work on the MG R-1. The frame was created from mild steel tubing and attached to MG Series &amp;quot;Y&amp;quot; independent front suspension. The rear was comprised of a live axle. Alfin aluminum drum brakes with two-wheel cylinders were used to provide the stopping power while a Morris Minor rack-and-pinion kept the vehicle in the drivers control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Under the hood was an experimental racing engine that had a 1466cc displacement size. The engine would later be used by MG for their MG TF 1500. The engine had twin SU carburetors and a 10.5:1 initial compression ratio. The compression ratio was later increased to 11.6:1. The 83 horsepower engine was mated to a stock MG TD transmission which sent the power to the rear wheels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• The car was clothed in a hand-formed aluminum body. The overall weight of the vehicle was less than 1,230 pounds. The car made its inaugural appearance in 1953 at a rainy Pebble Beach. The car had not been tested but this did not seem to matter, as it emerged victorious. Throughout the next year, the car would win all of the races it was entered, except for two. Its racing career came to an end in 1954 at Pebble Beach, when it suffered mechanical difficulties and failed to finish the race. The flywheel bolts fractures which allowed the flywheel to come loose. This resulted in the engine over-revving and it threw a rod. The R-1 Miles Special's racing career had come to an end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• The second Miles Special racer was constructed in similar fashion to the first, but incorporated many key mechanical and design changes. Many MG components were still utilized, such as the gearbox and 1466cc MG XPEG engine. The space frame chassis was constructed from one-inch steel tubing which was lighter than its predecessor, but still retained the structural rigidity. To reduce frontal area, the driving position was lowered by nearly four inches. Other techniques were used to reduce the frontal area. The engine was tilted down in the front which did much to achieve this goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• The car was narrow and low, which meant changes were needed to fit all the engine components in the engine bay. The MG intake manifolds were installed upside down which allowed the carburetors to be angled and fit under the hood. The design of the vehicle was similar to the MG TF. This was done for brand recognition and to help promote the MG line of vehicles. There were differences; the R-2 had an envelope body with fenders that flared up, and over, the front and rear wheels. In the front was an MG style grille with headlights on either side. The car was finished in British racing green.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• The car was given the nickname, the Flying Shingle. Its inaugural race was in 1955 at Willow Springs. It failed to finish the race. Many of the other races in which it entered, it emerged victorious. Among its accomplishments were first place finishes at Pebble Beach and Torrey Pines. Miles was doing well in small-bore racing, but the competition was consistently keeping pace. Soon, a new machine was needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Miles acceptable a position at Johnny Von Neumann's Porsche dealership. He raced during the 1956 season in a Porsche 550 Spyder and began work on a new racing Special. With von Neumann providing a generous budget, and Porsche providing ample stock components, Miles was able to construct a proper, large-budget racer. Power came from a Porsche Carrera four-cam engine that displaced 1500cc. The chassis was a Cooper Bobtail with a modified nose. The suspension was an independent setup with drums in the front and rear. The body shell was constructed of aluminum which aided greatly in the vehicles low weight of just under 950 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Near the close of 1956, the newly created Special was brought to Pomona where it was piloted by Miles to a second place finish. At Paramount Ranch, the car was driven to a class win in the 1500cc class, and beat-out the big-bore modified class as well. The car was raced in 1956 and for part of 1957 before the von Neumann dealership was given the break they had been desperately searching for - a Porsche 550A. The car was supplied from the factory with orders to sell the R-3 Pooper Special. The R-1, R-2, and R-3 are still in existence in modern times. They are used in vintage competition and are shown at events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
• Ken Miles was born on November 1st of 1918 in Sutton Coldfield, England. During his early life he apprenticed at a British car manufacturer. During World War II, he worked in various duties that dealt with machinery and utilized his mechanical skills. He began motorcycle racing while in the service and this would continue after his tour. After World War II, he returned to the automobile industry and to automotive racing. He acquired a Frazer-Nash racer and installed a Ford V8-60 engine. It had mile success in local and club competition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Ken Miles life came to a tragic end on August 17th, 1966 while driving a Ford J-car prototype. The car was traveling at 175 mph on a back-strech. Ken began preparing for a corner, slowing the vehicle down, but it went out of control and over an embankment. Ken was thrown from the car as it spun and went end-over-end. This tragedy brought an end to a brilliant career that began during the very early 1950s.&lt;br /&gt;
