Lot 36
A 1933 MG J2 Midget, registration number ALX 603, chassis number J23658, engine number 2585AJ, blue. Following on from the successful M-Type the two seater J2 would establish the classic MG look of Abingdons sports cars into the 1950s. With its deep cut away doors, fold flat windscreen and fixed cycle type wings they epitomised the British sports car look. The new J2 featured the Wolseley derived 847cc overhead camshaft engine coupled to a four speed gearbox installed in a simple chassis frame equipped with 8 inch diameter brakes. By the standards of the day, handling and performance were perceived to be exemplary, and they endowed the MG with an exhilarating top speed of 65 mph. ALX 603 is an extremely original example of the model, having been in the vendor's possession for over 40 years it oozes originality. The body work is finished in light blue and has a delightful patination which cannot be replicated. The interior has an aluminium dashboard with complementary black seating. Our vendor advises us that the original engine has been rebuilt with a Phoenix crankshaft. He further advises that he feels that the MG now needs tidying up but I for one think that the MG should be preserved as much as possible. Coming to the market for the first time in over four decades this charming pre-war MG will be offered for auction with a history file. V5C, MOT and tax exempt
£25000-28000 + 13. 2% Buyers premium (including 20% VAT)
