1933 MG J2 Midget Roadster

MG or Morris Garages was founded by Cecil Kimber in 1928. From its early days of building special bodies onto Morris chassis, the company epitomized the classic English sports car. MG produced 2,083 J2's from 1932 to 1934 marking a significant improvement over its predecessor, the M Midget and the EX120/C-Type experimental racing car. Power is supplied by a 36hp OHC 847cc 4-cylinder engine. A large number of the J-Type production cars have been documented to have motorsports history. This car was built at Abingdon-on-Thames on October 2, 1933, and delivered to University Motors in London on October 24, 1933. Its first owner was S.T. Bailey, Esq., of Sheffield, United Kingdom. He purchased the car in November 1933. The car first came to the U.S. in August 1969 but was never registered until late-2011 by the current owner.
