MOTOR CARS | 305Accompanying documentation consists of some bills relating to the
most recent restoration; a copy of the car’s Triple-M Register entry;
various press cuttings; copies of correspondence from previous
owners and VSCC Eligibility Form. A quantity of spares comes with
the car to include a cylinder block (believed to be the cars original),
Lucas racing magneto, gearbox (rebuilt), the original front axle,
alternative Amal six-carburettor set-up, and a twin rear wheel set-up
for sprints and hill climbs.
Since completion, the Magnette has been sprinted and hill-climbed
successfully with impressive reliability. In 2013 it beat ERA ‘R4D’
at VSCC Brooklands Sprint and in 2014 set FTD at the VSCC’s
Curborough Sprint, beating ERA ‘R14B’ and a host of other doughty
pre War racing cars in the process. Always in contention, not only in
hill climbs and sprints but also circuit races, this very user friendly
historic racing MG with period Brooklands and Goodwood history is
completely ready to go.
