1934 MG PA Midget Special Speedster

  • Registration Number: RSM 504
Cecil Kimber, the general manager of Morris Garage, Oxford, U.K., in the 1920s, was the man behind MG. He began modifying Morris cars for a motoring clientele anxious for more than the staid and practical. The MG PA was produced from 1934 until late-summer 1935 with a total of 1,973 built. It is thought that fewer than 150 remain.

The MG PA was launched in March 1934 as a replacement for the MG-J2. This car was powered by a new, more robust, and smoother-running 847 cc single-overhead-cam cross-flow four-cylinder engine breathing through two SU carburetors coupled to a four-speed gearbox. It developed 36 horsepower and rode on an 87 inch wheelbase. The PA chassis was a strengthened version of the J-series frame. MG did not see the PA as a racing model but it was capable of about 72 mph. They had a reputation as a daily driver during the week and a racer on the weekend.

The current owner has driven this car extensively since he purchased it in 1972. An authentic restoration of this car was completed in 2018, adding only a Volumex Supercharger, a factory option in 1934.

The MG P-Series featured the last overhead-cam engine to be built at the Abingdon plant.

MG PA's were commonly driven to the track and raced, competing in races, trials, and hillclimbs of the era. Most famously, 'Eyston's Dancing Daughters' - a six-woman racing team - drove three P-Types in the 1935 24 Hours of LeMans.
