The MG L-type, also sold as the Magna, was a two-door sports car built in 1933 and 1934 with a 1,086 cc six-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine of 41 bhp, a smaller version of the unit used in the 1930 Wolseley Hornet and the F-type. Its chassis was a narrower version of the K-type, with cable brakes on 12-inch drums, and the sloping radiator of the F-type gave way to sweeping wings and cut-away doors. The L1 was the four-seater, coupe and saloon and the L2 the two-seater. About 100 Continental Coupes at 350 pounds sold slowly and are now valued rarities. It won the 1933 Alpine Trial.
