| Name | Info |
 Andrew Hedges (deceased) *Signature Value : £55 | Andrew Hedges was a sportscar driver for the works MGB team, and winner at the Nurburgring in the 1966 Marathon de la Route 84 Hour endurance race, along with co-driver Julian Vernaeve. Sadly, Andrew Hedges passed away in October 2005. |
 Paddy Hopkirk (deceased) *Signature Value : £35 | MG dirver. During the sixties, it was the turn of the rugged and reliable MGB to fly the chequered flag, supported by the new Midget. Although near-standard apart from a low-drag nose, a works MGB achieved worthy results at Le Mans over three years. In 1963 Hopkirk and Hutcheson reached 12th place despite losing 85 minutes stuck in the sand at the end of the Mulsanne Straight. 19th and 11th positions were the results gained by Hopkirk and Hedges in 1964 and 1965, against far more specialised and expensive rivals. MGBs shone in the 1965 Brands Hatch 1000-mile race, helped to an outright win and a class 1-2-3 by consistent pace and lower tyre wear than rivals like E-type Jaguars. He died on 21st July 2022. |
