December 2018 Pictured are Bob Bazzica, Shelley, Adrian Ward and Peter Auld with the Trophy and the 1935 MG KN Magnette Bazz has restored from the ground up. T he MG KN Magnette was produced from 1934—1935 in various con- figurations, Bazz’s car was originally a 4 door pillarless saloon in very run down condition, ie; lots of rusty parts. He rebuilt the complete car as the Cor- sica bodied version the same as Cecil Kimber drove back in the day. One exception was Bob hinged the door at the back to make entry/exit easier. Powered by a SOHC 6 cylinder 1271cc engine with a 4 speed gearbox. Produced 56 bhp, top speed 78 mph and cost £399 at the time. Bob’s next project is to equip the engine with a supercharger the same as the K3 the sheet metal surround is already fit- ted to the front of the car.
