*MG L1 K3 project car
*Dry stored in a barn since 1978
*Extensive history fileReplacing the MG F-Type, the MG L-Type was launched in 1933 and is seen as one of the best pre-war MGs. The K3 edition of the L1 was effectively the racing variant, and featured the same 1,087cc straight-six engine as the standard car, but with the addition of a supercharger. Early cars initially used a Powerplus supercharger, however in later cars this was replaced by a Marshall unit.
This 1933 two-seater car was previously restored by an enthusiast between March 1960 and July 1965, however the car has been in storage since 1978. The car comes with an extensive history file, and is offered with a current V5C, quantity of expired MOTs from the 1960s and 70s, buff logbook, MG instruction manual, and a parts list. Photographs are also included in the history file, including images of the late vendor competing at Silverstone. The car is registered with the MMM Register.
The car is fitted with a Marshall supercharger, a 4-speed manual crash box, and 13" Electron drum brakes. Sadly the engine currently does not run, as when climbing the Prescott Hill Climb in 1978, the engine ran a big end bearing. The car has been stored in a barn ever since. An excellent example that presents a stunning opportunity to rebuild a highly effective, supercharged, two-seat, pre-war motorcar.
