Thanks you for stopping by our Competition page(s). WCB is not new to MG's,
far from it. Richard Green, Michael's father, was part of the Works MG Team
for the 1955/56 season. He was in charge of customer racing support, but was
also involved with the development of the 1.5L (EX182) prototype that they
raced at LeMans in 1955, and what we now know
as the MGA.
Later Richard would be involved with MG via British Leyland, where he was
the Service Manager for the Western United States, based in Brisbane, CA.
When we opened WCB in 1981 our bread & butter was MG & Triumph's.
Above: 1955 Season
leaving for LeMans, Dickie Green (second from left) joined BMC/MG.
