Rees Makins was the first owner of this OSCA MT4 Spider, which was ordered, with the larger 1350cc engine, via the OSCA importer Edgar Fronteras in Chicago. It first raced at LeMans in 1953 where it was driven by Phil Hill, then in his first 24 hour race there, and Fred Wacker, then president of the SCCA. Unfortunately, the car eventually retired with gearbox problems. After LeMans, the car traveled to the United States, where Makins drove it for the 1953 and 1954 seasons, which included the Sebring 12 Hour race. There the car won its class. The car was so successful in 1954 that Makins won that year's Class G USSRC Championship. The car was bought by its current owner in 2003 and has recently been restored to the American livery it wore at its first race at Le Mans.
