1958 MG Magnette ZB Saloon

'TBC 993' is well known in historic racing circles, having been race-converted from a road car in the 1970s by Roger Andreason, current owner of Chevron Cars. Andreason raced the car throughout the 1980s, winning many races and championships and setting numerous lap records. The car was subsequently raced and rallied by Jan Pearce, before coming into the present owner's possession and being rebuilt for him by A J Barnard Engineering, of Bodiam, East Sussex, the project commencing in 1999.

Accompanying correspondence from A J Barnard dated 13th May 2002 confirms recent major works carried out on brakes and suspension, including the re-manufacture of unavailable competition parts, and total rebuild of the 1,489cc, steel crank engine to race specification (power test sheets are available). The chassis/bodyshell structure was reported as in sound condition having just had the lower door skins renewed and been given a lower-half all-round re-spray. The floorpan and chassis legs have been extensively repaired and there is no evidence of corrosion.

Other noteworthy features include internally routed Aerquip braided steel brake hoses, adjustable suspension all round, roll cage, inboard fuel tank, stiffened and lightened body, plumbed-in fire extinguisher and disc front brakes fitted with Lotus alloy calipers. On completion, 'TBC 993' was raced by its owner and David Leslie at the Goodwood Revival Meeting in 2002, finishing 9th overall out of 28 starters. Although not currently MoT'd, the car, we are advised, can be used on the road and is, of course, tax exempt.

It is offered with sundry invoices, race results, expired MoT (April 2003), Swansea V5 and a quantity of body panel and trim spares to be collected by the purchaser.
