1934 MG KN Special

This car took part in the Cheshire Building Society Allcomers Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in July 1987.

It's the 1934 MG KN Special of J.A.Summers and was driven in the race by A.P.M.Watney. The MG KN Magnette  was produced from 1933 to 1934 and has the MG K1 chassis with an MG N-Type 6-cylinder inline 1,271cc engine.

1933 MG KN Special

This car is pictured at McLean's Corner during a practice session for the VSCC Historic Seaman Trophy Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.

It's Anne Templeton in her 1933 MG KN Special which is based on the running gear of the 6-cylinder inline 1,271cc MG KN Magnette, but has a 1,500cc engine and a zoller supercharger. The car behind is another MG, the MG Q Type of Tom Dark which has a supercharged 850cc engine. Only 8 examples of this car were built  and this one seems to be the only one with this type of body. It appears to be the car that was driven in the 1930s at Brooklands by Doreen Evans where she lapped the outer circuit at over 114 mph.

Note 25 Aug 2020: I've been told that Tom Dark's car isn't the one that Doreen Evans used to drive, but I couldn't find any contemporary photos o that car.
