1931 MG 'M' Type Midget – recent rebuild
Launched at the 1928 Motor Show, the MG Midget M Type, based on the contemporary Morris Minor, was to prove an instant success. Powered by the 847cc overhead cam engine as used in the Minor, but now developing 20 bhp, the M Type was lively, being capable of 65mph - quite something for such a small car then.
The M Type is historically important as enthusiasts know it was to spawn a prolific and highly successful line of competition and road models which, today, are regularly seen participating in VSCC, MGCC and other disciplines of motor sport.
Many sporting achievements were to boost sales, both in trials and on the track, with class wins in the 1930 'Double Twelve' race at Brooklands.
Early models had fabric coachwork, but steel panels were used from later in 1931 until production ceased the following year, when the M Type was superseded by the J Type.
Presented for sale here is a 1931 M Type that was the subject of a meticulous rebuild completed during lockdown with just a very small mileage covered subsequently.
Taken on as a project, many missing correct parts were sourced to ensure authenticity and this delightful little machine is ideal for light car events and numerous rallies.
Finished in blue with polished aluminium body and sporting an MG registration number this car is a delight.
