What would turn out to be the last of the Magna line – the L-Type – arrived in March 1933 boasting an engine downsized to 1,087cc but producing greater power (41bhp) thanks to a 12-port, cross-flow cylinder head. 12" brakes were retained for the L-Type chassis, which was broadly similar to that of the contemporary K-Series Magnette apart from a narrower track. Top speed was in the region of 75mph. A total of 576 L1/L2 Magnas had been produced by the time production ceased in 1934.
This Magna was delivered new as a four-seater on 16th August 1933 (copy records on file). Its early history is unknown. Restoration started in 2011 with the previous keeper, from whose estate our vendor was lucky enough to secure the car. The chassis was stripped, restored and rebuilt and a new engine incorporating a Phoenix crankshaft installed, the white-metalling being carried out by renowned specialists Formhalls Vintage & Racing Ltd. Assembled by Oliver Richardson, the engine is fitted with a Derek Chinn supercharger, newly rebuilt carburettors and an oil catch-tank.
The transmission consists of a rebuilt L-Type gearbox; new propshaft; rebuilt 4.9:1 differential; and hardened half-shafts. The front and rear axles have been crack-tested and fitted with all new hubs, and there are hydraulic brakes all round. The body has been hand crafted and riveted, and is finished in blue, while the interior has been retrimmed in tan. Other notable features include rewired electrics, a 6" rev counter, racing battery, and a rain light.
This freshly restored supercharged MG special was built by our vendor to compete in VSCC and MGCC events. Now in his 80s, he has decided to hang up his racing gloves and thus the car is offered for sale. Running in and shake-down testing will be required before active use. Most importantly this L-type is road registered and offered with a UK V5C.
