March 7, 2015 at 9:35 pm #263594most definitely a good looking car
March 7, 2015 at 9:41 pm #263595sweet love the color
March 7, 2015 at 9:47 pm #263596Something about the gas tank doesn’t look like a TC to me. ???
March 7, 2015 at 10:07 pm #263597Beautiful. But it also doesn’t look like a TC windshield. Could this be a Morgan rear end? ..or a customized TC maybe?
Something’s not right (for a TC).I’m watching my team (UNC) try to beat Duke so I’m just guessing.

March 7, 2015 at 11:50 pm #263598That is beautiful.
But if it’s a TC, it has been heavily customized. You already noted the rear end. And I agree with Roy, that it’s not a stock TC windshield frame

March 8, 2015 at 2:10 pm #263599I tracked down the website that this photo came from. Very interesting site. The car is shown on this site as a MG NB Magnette. The N-type Magnette was produced from 1934 to 1936 and was developed from the L-type and K-type but with a new chassis. Here’s the link, lots of historic photos.
MG N-Type Magnette
The N-type Magnette was produced from 1934 to 1936 and was developed from the L-
type and K-type but with a new chassis. The N-type used a 1271 cc 6 cylinder that
originated in the 1930 Wolseley Hornet and then was used in the K-type. The Magnette
NA was revised as the NB in 1935, gaining front-hinged doors and a radiator slatsBillBad Bill
March 8, 2015 at 2:17 pm #263600Thanks Bill. That clears it up. I’ve never heard of a NB.
March 8, 2015 at 2:39 pm #263601Rumor has it that it was a lighter weight racing/sport model. They used pine instead of oak for the framing and floorboards….
I kid, I kid… 😛
