1935 MG PA Midget

  • Chassis Number: PA2015
The MG P-Type was a replacement for the successful J2 Midget, and the PA followed the general lines of the model it replaced but came equipped with the more powerful version of MG's 847cc, four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine benefitted from a cross-flow cylinder head, better lubrication, and three-bearing crankshaft. The chassis became longer and it was given a strengthened transmission. The 8-inch brakes were replaced with 12-inch versions. Top speed was now in the neighborhood of 75 mph. The PA was built in two- and four-seat versions.

This particular P-Series Midget was finished at the Abingdon MG factory in April 1935. It was finished in duotone color-scheme of Dublin Green over Ulster Green, and trimmed with an Apple Green interior. It was purchased by its first owner, a Mr. G. Robinson of Kent, UK, in July of 1935. It is believed that the car remained in the UK for many decades, before being exported to New Zealand, where it reported to have been owned by a Mr. Frank Carter in the 1980s.

By the 2000s, the P-Type resided in Colorado, USA, where it is believed to have gone through a comprehensive restoration, before being purchased by the current owner.

This car is powered by an 847cc SOHC inline four-cylinder engine fitted with 2 SU carburetors. There is a four-speed manual transmission, leaf springs suspension, and four-wheel drum brakes.
