Who knows this nice little race car?

Maybe it is a repost, but as the puzzle photo was not restored I show this here again...

I think I can see a supercharger behind that grille. Is it an MG ?

Is it a rebodied MG Magnette K3?

To my best knowledge the basis car it is not a K3, but a PA/PB.

I didn't recognise the car without its wings, but I think it's the 1935 MG PA, fitted with a PB engine and Marshall supercharger, and raced by Miles Collier, nicknamed Leonidis. This body was fitted in 1937 after a bad crash.
