Nancy Mitchell drove MGs of various types on the European events throughout 1956, and won the Ladies Rally Championship by doing so, a feat she repeated in 1957. MBL 867 played a remarkable part in that first championship victory giving her wins in the Ladies Class on the Millie Miglia and the Alpine Rally before rounding the season off with a second in the Ladies Class on the gruelling Liege-Rome-Liege: an event where finishing is in itself an achievment. MBL 867 is modelled here in the form in which it started the Alpine Rally, which not only led to the victory in the Ladies as it was known, but the award of a coveted Coupe des Alpes, something many male crews failed to achieve.
