MG COMPETITION DEPT. 

By WEST COAST BRITISH RACING

Livermore, CA. USA

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.
