The Appeal
The TA ‘Midget’ kick-started a run of diminutive, MGs T-Types. The template was so clever and so popular that these cars continued for decades between pre and post war periods.
This lovely 1937 car was one of the first of those and remains in remarkable condition today, nearly 90 years after it was built. Finished in dark green - similar to the classic ‘BRG’ - with matching green leather seats, it is a very tidy example that has been used and enjoyed, including at VSCC Shelsley Walsh events.
There is a thick history file, including records from the 1960s, that documents its ongoing maintenance. It is said to run and drive very well.
These lovely little cars make perfect entrants for regularity events and classic car tours. This one would fit right in.
