1932 MG F2 Magna
Chassis F1446, a 1932 MG F-Type Magna F2 two-seater, is a rare survivor from a short-lived model range produced only in 1931–1932 to bridge the gap between the M-Type Midget and the 18/80. Powered by a six-cylinder 37.2 bhp engine through an ENV gearbox, it is believed to be one of just 14 surviving six-cylinder two-seaters from an original build of 41. Acquired from its original lady owner on the south coast of England in the late 1980s, it has been held in a single private collection for approximately 35 years and retains many original matching-numbers features.
