Description
The late 1940's and early 1950's brought about the rebirth and rapid growth of sports car racing, in those early years, MG was the dominant marque.
Initially many MG owners formed clubs and enjoyed low key activities such as rallies, gymkhanas, poker runs and hill climbs.
When the desire for more competition spurred interest in road racing, MG's began to appear in droves on starting grids at road racing events around the country; in fact, they usually made up the majority of entrants.
The NB was the final derivation of the famous pre-war racing 'K' Series MGs to compete and in many cases record class victories, at Brooklands, the Mille Miglia and at Le Mans.
It was also the last MG model built with an overhead cam engine before push-rod engines were adopted across the model range.
Manufactured in 1935-36, a mere 98 NB two-seater models were built making this a very rare car indeed.
Originally registered on 30th June 1936 in Kent, 'CYK 91' has resided in the south-east of England ...
