1939 MG WA Navigation
This MG WA was completed on February 7th of 1939 and destined for the African continent. In the early 2000s, the car was re-discovered in South Africa, devoid of a body but mechanically intact. The car's next owner entrusted it to Peter Ratcliffe of SVW Services in Worcester, United Kingdom to construct a new open body in the style of Swiss coachbuilder Reinbolt & Christé.

Currently, this MG WA wears a deep shade of Midnight Blue over dark blue leather upholstery with a matching cloth convertible top. More recently, the engine and braking systems were fully rebuilt.
