1935 Unusual MG 6cyl. NB Magnette

An immaculate, handsome and powerful 6 cyl.MG, perfect for UK & European touring while offering elegance and comfort.

It is unusual to find two similarly bodied MG 'N'  Magnettes, but the two cars currently on this site,  couldn't be further apart in their histories.  While the green car is a wholly home grown product, this red car was restored in the US,  bodied in Australia, and recently recomissioned here with a full engine o/haul.   It is now behaves faultlessly.  I have handled over a thousand pre-war MGs and I do consider this car to be one of the best I have ever had,  a bold statement I know,  but surely that statement tells you it has to be worth a viewing, especially if you have been considering a powerful, comfortable, yet competitive touring car. It has easy door access, proper comfort with good luggage space and genuine elegance, (enhanced even further when the roof is erected): qualities  not always associated with vintage MGs! 

The car begun life as a standard 6cyl., 2-seat 1272cc MG NB.   After life in the UK it was exported to Texas where considerable restoration was undertaken.  It then found its way to Western Australia where it was professionally rebodied in the 'Cresta' style to the remarkably high standard it carries today.    It found its way home in 2019, where it underwent further mechanical improvement  but unfortunately has covered very little mileage since, due to Covid and ill health,   but this accounts for its current immaculate condition.  (Detailed history with invoices is readily available.)

The MG NB is the final culmination of the standard MG overhead camshaft models to come from the Abingdon factory, and this example still sports its original 1272cc, 70BHP engine and close ratio gearbox.  The dashboard is stunning with all  available additional  gauges, together with a full windscreen, twin aeroscreens, bonnet belt, and superb Lucas 150 headlamps with MG crested bi-flex bars.   New Alto horn, FT27 foglamp, quick release filler caps, original SF24 trafficators and  Blockley tyres finish this magnificent car.      It truly is a class above the average N type.

As we found the car, it had stood for 2 or 3 years , but under the magic wand of Oliver Richardson we have carried out a full recommisioning, and I would not now hesitate to use this on the any European tour, rally,. or just wonderful holidays.  It has ease of access for your partner, superb roof, full sidescreens and tonneau cover.     The huge adjustable leather bucket seats offer real comfort, while the enormous boot carries any tools and plenty of soft luggage.     It really is the car so many of you ask for, and one of the few that remain as a sound investment.

(Should you wish to supercharge this car with a nose-mounted unit at some stage, we have a complete installation available to the buyer of this car at a specially discounted rate.  We can also install it for you if req'd.)

Do get to view this, and come for a test,  it is a most imposing car, many times better than the photos suggest.
