Clegg Special Trials car Info ?? Please

Hi there,

In my quest  in  looking for parts to build my sons Lotus mk iv replica.

I have bought a sorry looking barn find (more like barn fell on it) "Clegg special " there is mention of a couple of these car in the 50's at a Cheshire trial.

Can anyone shed any light on the car Reg number MTD 77

Looks like a cross between Dellow on front end Ford 1172cc pop running gear and Austin big 7 rear end with Ruby steering.tube sub frame, alloy body,

Only info I can find is, April 1st 1951 The Bartley Trial winner Cyril Corbishley in his C.C.Special and other award winners A.A.Butler 1172cc Clegg Special and B.F.Clegg 1172cc Clegg Special.

Thanks

Steve
