Since upgrading to Category 2 specification, with its 1850cc still giving away capacity to other MGBs, the car is considerably quicker than in standard form. Very attractive in Maroon with a distinctive Turquoise flash and carrying the personalised number plate -"PICKLE". The car is seen briefly in the Television advertisement for Budapest Pickles the team sponsor.
Budapest also produce a very attractive poster showing Barry and Andrew with their two car team.
