The first of the famous MG T-series line, the TA was introduced in 1936. Larger, faster and more comfortable than its PB predecessor, the newcomer was powered by an MPJG 1292cc OHV engine that developed some 50bhp at 4,800rpm. Allied to a four-speed manual transmission, it endowed the two-seater with a nigh-on 80mph top speed. Traditionalists may have decried the adoption of a less exotic powerplant, insulating rubber engine mounts and - after a while - synchromesh on 3rd and 4th gears but the TA had accounted for 3,003 sales by the time production ceased in 1939.

This example was first registered on 7^th of July, 1937, and is presented in good condition throughout. The Dark Red coachwork presents in very good order as does the interior which presents very well. Acquired by our vendor in 2021, he has used the car primarily during the summer months and maintained this MG where necessary - with the most recent bill for Chisbon Restorations in April of 2023 for £2,392, for a full check-over. Well maintained and subject to an extensive restoration in the past, that included a new Ash frame, chassis media-blasting and painting and a ‘bare metal’ repaint in Carmine Red, this example is raring to be used! At some point in the car's life, the original MG engine was lost and was replaced by a similar Morris X-type engine, sporting twin SU carburettors (the same family as the MG unit). This engine appears fully restored and in fine fettle. Now offered at ‘No Reserve’, this fantastic little ‘30s sports car will be great for enjoying the sunshine, summer or winter.
