1933 MG J2 Midget Roadster

The MG J Type was manufactured from 1932 to 1933 and it was MG's first successful sports car. About 2,000 J Type MGs were built. The J Types were powered by an 850cc overhead am engine which could propel the car to 80 mph. The success of the J Types as sport and race cars helped build the MG's early reputation as a producer of sporty cars. These cars were the predecessors to the P Type and the later well-known T series MGs. In many ways, the J Types represented the beginning of the popular British sports car movement.

This particular MG J2 has the cycle wings (fenders) characteristic of these cars. It has the added performance option of a front mounted roots-type supercharger, a close ratio ENV transmission and larger 12 inch brakes. It is restored to its original two tone red with red interior.
