It's an MGB built with aluminium body panels to take part in the Sebring 12 Hours and features the same Droop Snoot of its LeMans counterpart. It was driven at Sebring by American Brad Picard and Canadian Al Pease.

That's correct.
The Le Mans nose was originally designed by Syd Enever for the '65 race and adorned DRX 255C but this car is a different car, DRX 256C, but with a similar nose fitted for the 1965 Daytona 12 hours.
Well done!
