We've been big fans of Frontline for a long time - for both the amazing parts they produce to make MGs go, handle and stop better, and the awesome cars they build for their customers. With the launch of MG LE50, their awesome Mazda engined new project, it was a golden opportunity to go along and chat to Tim and Ed about this groundbreaking new project.
Richard Hammond finds out if the Gardner Douglas 427 is primarily a poser machine or if it can be used as a genuine grand tourer. He puts it to the test in the fantastic winding roads of North Wales, where he'll be checking out the performance and handling, as well as seeing how practical it is. The 427 produces around 300bhp from it's 5 litre V8 engine, which on paper makes it a real monster and a viable option to the likes of a TVR.

Does an AC Cobra replica make a good track day car? If it's a GD427 it does. The Ferrari was certainly an impressive machine with its' full slicks and aero, quite a contrast to the stripped out GD427 running old Kumho V70's and a crate GM LS3 525. On track the GD was more than a match for the Ferrari and created quite a stir in the paddock. The car was driven by friend and fellow GD owner Charlie Holmes.
