| There is a 1935 MG PA Supercharger Reg 806 YUW (imported back to UK) for sale on Ebay under classic cars section. |

Was amused by the write up quote from Motor Sport "...80 mph in comfort..."! 80 maybe, on a well tweaked car with the screen down, but comfort? Standards really have changed!

Believe me, compared to the average chap's 1934 motor cycle at 80mph, the MG was comfort indeed at 80mph.
A blown MG P like the one in the photo was pretty well the cutting edge at the time. The 1934 bicycle with it was as technically advanced, the make holding the then 'hour' record.
Of the two, the MG is the faster, the Mochet very comfortable.

The PA appears to have been removed from Ebay so it may well have been sold.
I like the 1938 recumbent cycle but the PA is more comfortable at legal speeds.

The 'bent is a 1934 Mochet Vélo-Vélocar. It is still as fast as it ever was; alas, my legs are not.
Don't assume that anything advertised on the 'net actually exists. My own 1950 Derny cycle-track pacer appeared in a 'for sale' advert on www.leboncoin, a French website last week, not placed there by me. It has now been taken down.
