In late 1979, Julius Thurgood purchased a venerable 1967 MGB roadster that had been used as a racecar for most of its life. Fuelled by an ambition to compete in long-distance events, Julius teamed up with brothers Rae and Grahame Davis to form the 'Moto-Build' racing team in order to contest the inaugural 1980 Willhire 24 Hours at Snetterton. The rebuilt MG stood up well against modern machinery in this gruelling marathon, despite being sidelined with a broken differential in the early hours of the Sunday morning. The errant axle was rebuilt in the pits using parts from an A60 van retrieved from a local scrap yard. The team resumed the race to finish 16th overall, winning £200 in prize money for their efforts!
