Description

The Mg P-type was a 2-door sports car produced by MG from 1934 to 1936 as a replacement for the J-Type Midget. The new car had a strengthened and longer chassis than the J-Type with enhancements to engine, suspension and steering.
The P-Type was introduced as the MG PA in 1934 and some 2, 00 examples were completed before development led to the MG PB which started production in 1935.
The MG PB had a bigger 939cc engine with an increased output of 43hp and is much rarer with only a mere 500 examples being built before production ceased in 1936.

This MG PB was first registered via University Motors, London, to a Mrs Speranza, of Steyning Sussex in May 1936. How long Mrs Speranza kept the car is unclear but she may have sold it to Raymond Way Motors of Kilburn in 1953 as this is where its next keeper found and purchased it, according to the bill of sale on file, on 2nd January 1954 and has owned it ever since then!!
A young Aircraft Engineer in his early 20’s serving with the RAF on National Service stationed in Cirencester he bought the MG as his first ever car. Fed up with the train and bus journey when on leave he used it as his transport between Cirencester and home in Olney where the car remains today! After leaving the RAF he returned to Olney and swapped aeroplanes for cars and became an automobile engineer at the local garage acquiring several other old cars and motorbikes along the way. Being a trained and meticulous worker, all his machines were restored and maintained impeccably over the years but the MG, being his first car was always the favourite! He did all the work himself with the exception of the trimming which was carried out by a family member who worked in the trim shop at Wolverton Works, and the paint which was completed out by a local artisan. Although completed some years ago the MG PB has had little road use since then being dry stored but maintained, run up and tinkered with on a regular basis to keep it in the superb condition you see it in today.
