Below, 1936 MG NB at LBC Show in Grapevine, TX, on Octocer 30, 2011. Featuring the 6-cylinder och engine with supercharger, single SU carburetor, and preselector gearbox.




The single SU carburetor is on the font end with the blower. The gizmo on the intake manifold is a pressure relief valve (blow-off valve).


Last pic is the preselector transmission stick. The gear you want to go to was selected via the stick, then the clutch pedal was depressed and released. There was a lock-out mechanism to prevent inadvertantly going into reverse when moving forward.
