1935 MG PB

One of the featured Marques at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in August 1996 was MG, and the Abingdon Trophy Race for MG Sports Cars which was contested by almost 50 cars in 5 classes ranging from a 1933 MG J4 to MGB and MGC cars from the 1960s. This is one of the older cars that took part.

It's the 1935 MG PB of Peter Green that was driven by Corinna Stamm from Germany, and has a 4-cylinder inline 847cc engine. A note in the programme of the event says 'Peter Green's 1935 PB is also worth noting; one of the works 'Cream Cracker' team of trials cars, it was driven by Ken Crawford'.
