Hi,

  One of my ex racing Firenzas was originally a Sport SL.   The car was MWP 862K.  We did one race in flat front guise, then put the Droopsnoot nose on.  The car was developed over a few years to be very competitive, and then brother in law Mostyn Rutter came out with his ex Trevor Griffiths car, and for a couple of seasons we  ran the two cars.  I then retired, and a guy bought the car with a view to turn it back to a road car. Does anybody know if it still exists?  I will try and get some old photos scanned, and get them on here.

Very recently on the road, according to the DVLA:

The vehicle details for MWP 862K are:

Date of Liability 01 05 2007
Date of First Registration 19 05 1972

I remember seeing this at Oulton Park many years ago - is it the red one in the background of this photo of JVV79N?

I am sure I have some photos of the car itself, I will have a look.
  
On Sport SLs, my first project car (which I ended up scrapping, but of course regret that now) was EAD304L, an orange SSL with no floor.
