The MG N Magnette was built from the year 1934 until 1936. The Magna and Magnette models were the fastest pre war MG models fitted with six cylinder engines. The 'smaller' Midgets featured four cylinder engines. The MG N series came in four versions; the NA four seater tourer, the ND two seater (this car was named NB from 1935) and the NE 'works' racing cars. The NB could be distinguished from the other models by it's doors which were hinged at the front. The most spectacular and renown MG N-types are the 'Musketeer' racing cars of which three have been built in the year 1934. The MG 'Musketeer' gave MG it's final victory in the British TT (Tourist Trophy) Championships in 1934. In the year 1935 driver Sam Nash won the 'Welsh Rally' with the MG B-type Musketeer named 'Aramis'.
The greatest racing successes by MG were obtained between the years 1930 and 1935. Many MG's were raced on the track, in rally's and in hill climb competitions. The most famous are the J4, the 'supercharged' K3, the Q type (with K3 chassis, N type axles and P-type engine) and the MG N type. The N type is seen by MG purists as the last true British sports car. Between 1934 and 1936 only 745 Mg N-types have been built. Six cylinder
engine MG NA
Magnette, year 1936. Colour two-tone crème/brown with a brown leather
interior and brown wire wheels. This tremendous MG N type was fully
restored and built up in detail as a MG N type 'Musketeer'. In the year
1934 MG built three 'Musketeers'. These racing cars were very successful
and the MG won the 1934 British TT (Touring car Trophy) Championships.
The presented N type is a detailed recreation of a N type 'Musketeer'.
Based upon an original NA and built up with original parts and perfectly
new fabricated bodywork and wings. The builder of this car had a lot of
documentation about the Musketeers and much help from the owner of 'Aramis'
, one of the original Musketeers. |
