It took MG to Le Mans and solidified their place in motorsports. With it&#8217;s small 1-liter engine, the K3 was never a contender for overall victories but won its 1100cc class many times. Much like a miniature version of the Bentley Blower, the K3 relied on its front-mounted supercharger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The K-series represented MG&#8217;s mid-size car, featuring a modified inline-6 borrowed from Woseley&#8217;s Hornet. MG took this 1100cc engine and used a cross-flow head, a magneto and, for the first time, a preselector gearbox. For the top-of-the line K3 Magnette, MG added a Mashall supercharger, and in doing so, created one of the most successful British race cars.<\/p>\n<p>The first K3 Magnette appeared at the 1933 Monte Carlo Rally and from there K3s contested the most important international events. Its first success was achieved at the Mille Miglia where two of the three entered cars finished and won their class to be the first English team to take the team prize. This victory, and one at the Coppa Acerbo Junior, motivated Tazio Nuvolari to try out the K3 at the Ulster Tourist Trophy. The result was dominating, with Nuvolari beating the class lap record seven times over.<\/p>\n<p>For 1934, the K3&#8217;s achievements rivaled those of the previous year. That year MG came their closest to an outright win at LeMans, until their second place K3 retired due to an accident. However, another car driven by Martin and Eccles finished ninth overall and won the 750-1100cc class.<\/p>\n<p>Since the K3 was readily available for purchase (795 GBP) and MG would even perform maintenance, many cars were bought by privateers. They then took the car to many regional hillclimbs and rallies where the K3 racked up even more victories. In total 33 examples were made.<\/p>\n<p>After 1934, the K3 was becoming more outdated, especially considering the banishment of supercharging at the Ulster Tourist Trophy and the introduction of single seat bodywork. Unfortunately, before a replacement was made, MG abandoned motor sport in 1935, a move dictated by Morris.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n
