Rob Whitwell from Melbourne, in the south-eastern Australian state of Victoria has always had a passion for cars and motorsport, growing up on a service station and garage. He studied Civil Engineering at Swinburne University and when career and family took priority over motorsport, his focus ended up in the construction and property market. Rob had major construction and development companies until he retired in 2016.
At age 50 he returned to motorsport with an Historic compliant MGB roadster which he ran for four years. He then purchased a MGB GT V8 full spec race car, and over the next 12 years Rob raced it whilst developing the car to finally have it producing over 500bhp. The MGB had a 6-speed sequential gear box and ran on 12" wide slicks. In 2015 Rob imported his Tiga SC85 and restored it over two years to begin racing it in 2018.
