The MG on this card is an F-Type Magna with a Stiles body. Thirty of these were built in the early 30’s and only a handful are still in existence. One just sold for $236,500 at the New England Auto Auction at the Owlshead Transportation Museum in Maine. The cars featured the six-cylinder overhead-cam engine and chassis from the F1 Magna and a special body, with dickey-seat, by English designer Frederick Stiles. This beautiful painting is by Kevin Walsh and the card was published by Royle in England. I’ve had the card in my collection for many years and I recently gave it to Dick Bronkhorst, a good friend from The Netherlands, when he completed the restoration of his Stiles. The ocean liner is the Queen Mary, and the car and license plate are not known in the database of the UK based Triple M Register of the MGCC
