Tojeiro MG ex Stirling Moss 1953 for sale

John Tojeiro was born in Portugal but moved to England when he was very young. That move was significant because after World War II, in which John served, England would become a hotbed for the construction of racing cars. Tojeiro made a name for himself as a chassis engineer, and once he established himself, clients would reach out to him and commission the construction of unique racing cars. Tojeiro's first car was powered by a Bristol engine, and the body was meant to resemble a Ferrari 166 MM. Shortly after, Tojeiro built two or three cars powered by MG engines with a similar body. This is one of those cars. The engine is a 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder MG, the power is unknown - but probably less than 125. This car can be seen as the prototype of the AC Ace, which later became the AC Cobra. So the Shelby Cobras can be traced directly back to this car.
