Later fitted with a Marshall blower for hillclimbs. Restored in 1995 to like new condition and still very clean, sharp and fresh. Enthusiastically presented on site. Announced, but not cataloged.

Market commentary
Cheap, cheap, cheap. This is an amazing bargain. People pay this much for K3 replicas. This is a real, honest (aside from the blower) LeMans race car driven by one of Britains famed teams. Its condition is above reproach, matched by its history. Buyers were asleep, except for the one who ponied up a decidedly modest price for this prize. Amazing, particularly in London. Miracles happen at auction and the buyer of this MG benefited from one, holding his (or her) breath until the hammer fell.
