1932 MG F-Type Magna Stiles Special

Cecil Kimber founded the MG Car Company (for Morris Garage) in the mid-1920s. MG came to epitomize the classic English sports car with the introduction of the TA in 1935. Unlike the 4-cylinder T-Series however, the Magna is powered by a 70 horsepower 1270cc overhead cam 6-cylinder engine.

Fred W. Stiles of London designed and made 30 of these custom aluminum Stiles Special Threesome bodies for the 1932 F1 Magna chassis. Five original body/chassis combinations exist. This car is the only example in North America. The body was designed by Frederick Stiles who was the British Concesonaire and Racing Team Manager for Alfa Romeo between 1927 and 1931. James Young of Bromley was the coachbuilder who fabricated the body for this 1932 Magna. According to Dr. Rachel Geogina Evans, the daughter of the original owner Dr. Frankis Tilney Evans, the car was a gift to her mother on her birthday in 1932. The car is restored to the original colors selected by the Evans family in 1932 - Ocean blue metallic body with beige wheels, brake drums, chassis and belt line with the two-tone color scheme.
