Moss Supercharger Contest Winner Chosen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 9, 2008 – ORMOND BEACH, Fla.Whether they’re placing the highest bid at auction, wowing the concours judges or going for the checkered flag, classic car enthusiasts like to win. Recently we gave our readers an opportunity to fuel that desire. More than 9000 British car fans entered to win a supercharger kit from Classic Motorsports and Moss Motors, and we’re happy to announce that the winner is Dave Hinman of Novi, Michigan.
Hinman chose Moss’s kit for the 1275cc MG Midget and Austin-Healey Sprite. However, he doesn’t intend to put it in either of BMC’s beloved badge-engineered budget sports cars. Instead, Dave plans to add the blower to his current restoration project, a 1962 Lotus 7 powered by the 1275 motor.
The Lotus has considerable racing history and is still set up much as it was on its last track outing. “It just doesn’t have the numbers on it,” Dave says. Still, he’s willing sacrifice a little historical value for a lot of extra power.
“It’s neat,” he said. “I’m just pulling the car back together, and I’m sure it’ll be more enjoyable—more playful.”
Teaming up with Moss Motors, the largest supplier of parts for classic British cars, was a natural for Classic Motorsports, the leading magazine in America for fans of those cars.
“We want to thank the thousands of people who entered the giveaway. The amazing success of this contest is a tribute to the passion of our readers and how darned cool those Moss supercharger kits are,” Classic Motorsports Publisher Tim Suddard said.
The supercharger kit giveaway began in January and ended May 2.
