PB 0334 is one of 14 PB Airline Coupes built, one of six remaining and possibly the most famous. It was originally sold new by University Motors, London in 1935 to Prince Chula and Prince B. Bria, grandsons of King Mongkut of Siam, portrayed by Yul Brynner in the movie, The King and I. The cousins later formed White Mouse Racing Stable and Bria won numerous international racing events and awards over the next three decades.
This chassis was sent to Carbodies for fitment of the art deco body designed by Allingham and upgrades included are walnut trim, Connolly leather and a sliding sunroof. The Airline body design is often described as the most beautiful MG ever made.
PB 0334 won the First in Class Award at the 2016 Amelia Concours d’Elegance.
Taken at the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance & Motoring Festival.
