I'm pretty sure this had an Eaton supercharger during its development phase and was mounted under, not on top from what I remember.
Here's one from an EMS day July 2007

I do believe you are correct as I remember trying to contact eaton superchargers at the time to get hold of a charger for my blue 180...
IIRC the reason the charger was removed was because there was some sort of agreement that eaton wouldn't make chargers for the KV6 after MGR went bust or something... but thats only from a vague memory fragment lol

Tell you what John... if you are ever down this way, or at an event that he is at, I'll introduce you to Andy who will spend hours talking to you about this car as if it was his own lol I think he thinks he knows more about the car than Ralph did

I tried to find him at pol but I couldn't, only found his car... Would be great to chat to him.
I did talk to him on Facebook a while ago when I was trying to track it down.

It's proberbly that MGR owed Eaton money so they wanter to minimize their looses.

Im sure Ralph told me the charger got removed because it insisted on popping engines! Was on engine number 3 as one of the directors cars but got put back standard to sell on when the last one gave up the ghost.
Boot hill bandit did have the mould for the bonnet vent aswell fyi

Interesting, I was sure that engine had different internals to cope with the charger... I guess Ralph would know for sure though 
I wonder if he still has the mould, I quite like that vent and wouldn't say no to making one up...
