Description:

This very special and unique Frogeye was originally purpose built in 2008 at Old Dairy Classics by the late & great Allan Cameron using his own massive wealth of experience from building and racing Austin Healey cars for many years and also combined with some external motorsport engineering input to build the “fastest frog”.

A brief outline is below:

1380cc full race A series fully balanced engine (Moved back 8" for optimum weight distribution and resultant handling)

Steel EN40B crankshaft

Omega forged pistons

Weber 45 DCOE carb (original Italian made version) with new Mangoletsi linkage

K&N air filter

Adjustable fuel pressure regulator

Lumentition ignition system

Aldon Automotive distributor

Small lightweight alternator

External electric water pump

Mocal oil cooler

Aluminium radiator

Side exit exhaust with freshly repacked silencer

Heat wrapped exhaust manifold

Trans-X 4 Speed Ford Rocket Box.

Comprehensive integral roll cage which also integrates extensively into the original floorplan and as such provides a semi space frame structure for both maximum safety and optimum handling.

5 link rear suspension with Panhard Rod

4:2:1 ratio rear differential with LSD.

Peter May drive shafts

Large front disc brakes – crossdrilled

Hispec alloy 4 pot brake calipers on the front

Large rear disc brakes – crossdrilled

Hispec ally 2 pot calipers on the rear

Tilton adjustable brake bias pedal box

Stainless steel Aeroquip brake lines throughout the car.

Coil over adjustable rear dampers

Extremely rare adjustable level arm dampers on the front

Rose jointed top arms

Aluminum race, foam filled fuel tank.  (A twin tank set up is also available if longer distance races are required).

Facet fuel pump

Light weight fibre-glass body work front and rear, plus single skin doors.

Passenger side tonneau cover

Quickrack steering rack

Removable Momo Steering wheel

Racetech gauges for oil pressure and water temperature

Large Rev counter with integral shift light

Plumbed in fire extinguisher system
Brand new Minilight replica wheels

Brand new Avon A048r tyres

New paintwork

Working headlights (lightweight) and rear lights.

The whole car is configured for lightness and optimum corner weight balance to give the best handling possible.

There is also a large box of springs with differing rates and lengths to enable changes to suit differing tracks or driving preferences.

The car weighs 523 kgs with ~15 litres (~12 kgs) of fuel.

Corner weights are as follows :

NSF : 143 kgs                                               OSF: 149 kgs

NSR: 124 kgs                                               OSR : 107 kgs

The above are WITHOUT a driver’s weight on board so as the driver’s weight will sit predominantly over the OSR, it will bring the OSR weight up, making it is a nicely balanced car.

There are two rolling road print outs showing the power AT THE REAR WHEELS to be 106 bhp.  Working on transmission losses of ~15% this calculates to ~120 bhp at the flywheel.

I purchased the car from Drew Cameron about 3 years ago with the intention of racing it with the CSCC in their Swinging 60’s race series but with also racing  Caterhams I simply do not have the time to do both and the car is far too good to sit idle in the garage.

The car was originally built for Class E of the Lackford Engineering MG Midget and Sprite Challenge and as such had wide arches and large offset wheels.

The CSCC require an original silhouette, hence the wide arches have been removed, the original standard arch profile has been restored and standard offset wheels purchased for the car.

During the bodywork modifications the car was also repainted from the Old English White to the Iris / baby blue that is shown in the photos.

The car is freshly serviced with all fluids changed plus a complete spanner check. Wheels and the Avon A048r tyres are brand new.

The racing harness and fire extinguisher are fine for track days etc but will need updating for circuit racing, which I can probably help provide from one of my other cars if required.

In addition to the large boxes of springs of differing rates that comes with the car, there is also some spare brake pads plus 6 spare wheels (Revolution 4 spokes).

There is a folder of paperwork / receipts / history etc.

The car is not concours or show standard by any means and nor is it one for the purists. This car was built with solely one purpose in mind – to win races !

Please feel free to call me with any sensible questions and / or to come and view the car.
