Condition

The car is a recreation of the original Q-Type racer, featuring a body akin to the days racing at Brooklands. It has undergone significant expenditure to create a fabulous recreation, including the blower, bespoke external handbrake, quick fill fuel caps, turned metal dash with dual chronograph clocks, Brooklands aero screens, aluminium foot plates, and aluminium and rubber mats in the footwell. The bonnet straps and coachwork are as new, as is the trim sitting on wire wheels with a bespoke tonneau and a fabulous fantail exhaust. The car has been subject to a full photographic restoration in 2007. The car is described as being in stunning order and eligible for hill climbs and sprints, making it a great drivers car and one of the best-looking examples in the paddock.

Description
The MG Q-Type is a racing car produced by MG in 1934.
The chassis was based on the one used on the MG K3 but was narrower and used N-Type axles.
The engine used the cylinder block from the P-Type but with a special crankshaft to bring the capacity down to 746cc by reducing the stroke.
A high-pressure Zoller supercharger was fitted giving a boost to 2.5 atmospheres and allowing the engine to produce 113bhp at 7200rpm.
A sprint version was also made with output increased to 146bhp which at nearly 200bhp per litre this figure was higher than any other racing engine in the world at that time and equated to over 200bhp per 1,000cc! To add stability at the inevitable high speeds, it was decided to increase the wheelbase and track on the basis that the extra power would more than compensate for the additional weight.
The wheelbase was made the same as on the K3, and N-Type axles of 3' 9" track, with special 12" brake drums, were used.
Regarded as the ultimate traditional overhead cam-en...
