1936 MG NB Navigation
This 1936 MG NB Magnette Two-Seater is powered by a 1,271-cubic-centimeter overhead-cam inline-six engine paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. Initially developing 56 horsepower, performance was enhanced with an engine-mounted supercharger. This was a period-correct upgrade done in the spirit of the successful forced-induction racing MGs of the era.

The current custodian acquired this MG in 2018 and treated it to a cosmetic refresh in 2019, finish in a two-tone blue paint scheme. There is a blue leather interior, a blue convertible top, a wooden dashboard, and a pair of Brooklands windscreens. It currently rides atop wire wheels with Rudge-Whitworth two-ear knock-offs. There are stone guards over the headlamps and a rear-mounted spare tire.

In 2021, Red Car Restorations of Rockwall, Texas, was commissioned to refresh the mechanical components.
