Note the ROAR JAPAN can also.
The pink versions are from '93 so they were still going in the standard class at that time. Here's an article featured in August '93 RRC showing the start of the standard A Final in the top picture. That must have been one of my last races as my car is still virtually unchanged from that picture.

Reading the RRC report brought back a memory for me - Olly Carnelly used to race at my local club, Brinsworth Buggy Club - which then became known as Rotherham Buggy Club as we left Brinsworth and flitted around for a while before settling at Rawmarsh until I discovered beer and women, and packed in.
I thought I had an MG red dot BITD, but looking at those photos it was nothing like it and had a small coloured dot - maybe a Reedy now I think?
I had a few black can / red holo Demon motors too, a 19 quad and 27 single, and a 16 triple which had a flouro orange endbell and sticker - seem to recall it was an SRM Racing one?
Sorry for crashing your MG thread but it triggered a few fuzzy memories.
