1934 MG K3 Magnette

It was one of those little stories that stays with you. The first all-historic motor racing meeting in Australia was held during January 1976—mid-summer in this part of the world. I am fortunate to say that I was there, but the first Amaroo Historics was a bit like Woodstock, as there are many people who say they were there, but actually just wish they were.

The story surrounded an MG K3 that had been brought over from South Australia for the event, a distance of some 880 miles one way. Someone wanted to have a look at the car and wasn’t too sure of how to meet up.
