1934 MG Magnette (Muskateer Team Specification )

Amongst the best known competition cars produced by the MG marque were the seven N-Types, based on standard NA chassis and becoming known as the NE, built specifically to dominate in events such as the Ards TT and the Welsh Rally.

Three of these cars were run by the Works supported Musketeer team and it is with these in mind that this 1934 NA (0757) has enjoyed what can only be described as a no expense spared rebuild to create a car which recreates and embodies the spirit of this pre war motorsport era.

Built to the very highest standards, this NA gained VSCC paperwork in 2017 and has been used sparingly since completion. The new body was built by Steven Gilbert in Weybridge and appropriately finished in the Works racing colours of cream and brown. The coachwork and paintwork remain flawless.

The engine was rebuilt in Germany by Otto Geppert. The work was carried out around a new block and features a billet crank and Cosworth pistons. The supercharger was entrusted to Garage Deusch in Seelbach. Transmission is of the preferred pre-selector type and the rear axle is to K3 specification, whilst braking is courtesy a new set of Alfin Typecast aluminium drums. The interior is trimmed in chocolate brown leather and weather equipment consists of a mohair hood , a specially made and quickly fitted storm cover and a rear section tonneau, also in mohair, to cover the small luggage area behind the seats.

U. K. registration with U. K. V5. ( private registration number not included in sale ).

Comprehensive history file with photographic records and receipts from restoration/ build programme.

The car is in exceptional condition, ready to tour, rally, or simply to enjoy the occasional drive.

It is an ideal and most competitive car for many pre war rallies such as the Shamrock Rally and Flying Scotsman.
