1933 MG L Type Supercharged Boat Tail
MG made its mark on the British motoring scene in the mid-1920s, quickly establishing itself as a formidable contender in motorsports. Known for their technically advanced, small-displacement engines and lightweight chassis, MG cars often outperformed expectations, prompting enthusiasts to convert their road cars into racing machines. The 1933 MG L-Type Magna showcased here is a rare gem, one of only 576 ever produced. Its heart is a 1,086cc overhead cam, cross-flow inline-six engine, originally delivering 41 horsepower. Introduced to fill a gap in MG's lineup, the L-Type offered more power and refinement than its smaller counterparts, without the bulk of larger sedans. The MG Type L excelled in competition, earning accolades at prestigious events like Brooklands, Monte Carlo, and the Tulip Rally.
This meticulously restored 1933 MG L-Type pays homage to its racing heritage with a custom boat tail coachwork reminiscent of the legendary MG K3 Magnette. Featuring period-correct modifications, including dual fuel fillers, Brooklands wind deflectors, and a high exit exhaust with a Brooklands silencer, this MG is a sight to behold. Automotive Restorations, Inc. completed the conversion in 1990, servicing the engine and equipping it with a period-correct supercharger, enhancing its performance and emitting an irresistible whine. Finished in a striking deep green with a luxurious black leather interior, this vintage sports car offers an exhilarating driving experience, perfect for enjoying springtime adventures on modern roads. Moreover, meticulous maintenance includes recent replacement of the cap and rotor, along with a carburetor rejetting and tuning, ensuring optimal performance and driving pleasure in the upcoming season.
