Just arrived at The Garage!
1935 MG PA Midget
(Supplied by us over 8 years ago!)
Following on from the ‘J’ Series Midget, the P Type boasted a number of improvements including a revised engine now with three main bearings. Also, a revised Tecalemit lubrication system with filtration was now fitted. With competition use in mind, a new heavy duty clutch was included in the specification along with 12” diameter brakes.
The P Type was to prove a considerable success, with some 1, 973 being produced.
As well as the 2-seater, there was also an ‘Airline’ Coupe and a 4 seat tourer variant. The 2-seater was priced at a very competitive £220
The example offered here was the subject of a professional restoration by a well-regarded specialist, this being completed around 20 years ago.
Subsequently the MG. was been carefully used and well maintained, as the receipts supplied show. When the model was modified to become the ‘PB’ in late 1935, a number of PA models were upgraded by the Works to PB specification, as the new engine was now 939cc, developing a healthy 43bhp.
This car has also been fitted with the later PB unit at some point and feels very sprightly and responsive, with the distinctive, crisp exhaust note that is very much a part of the P Type character.
Of smart appearance in its livery of Carmine Red with deep red interior, the MG is shod with Blockley tyres and is all ready for lively Spring and Summer motoring.
Much paperwork is included, with a number of bills dating back over more than half a century, plus a letter from a former owner back in 1961 and several copies of photographs of the MG taken over 60 years ago.
During the last few years work has included new clutch, dynamo rewind, carburettors refurbished by Burlens, a new fuel pump and replacement battery.
There is an electric cooling fan fitted.
There is a video now live on our website.
