MG PA P type Midget 1934
General description :
1934 MGPA P type Midget
Registration Number: TBA
Chassis number: PA1600
One of 1973 PA's produced, This car was repatriated recently from the dry state of Texas where it had resided for many years. The car is finished in lightly patinated british racing green paintwork which presents very well & has a genuine feel to it. The interior is green with a highly figured burr walnut dashboard with a full set of period instrumentation.
Mechanically the car is very sound with a tight feel to it when driving. The engine runs well & pulls strongly. Indeed a contemporary road test reads: "On the road the P-Type midget realizes the promise of its sleek & speedy lines. It cruises fast holding 55 - 60MPH with an absence of fuss and engine noise worthy of a car twice its size & price and its stbility is an outstanding feature."
The car sits on four silver painted wire wheels shod with 4 newish tyres, the 5th spare wheel being rear mounted. The car has a full tonneau cover & also a newish hood & side screens. Under the bonnet the car is in very tidy condition also.
The whole ensemble has a very period feel to it & is delightful to drive down leafy B roads. It is in our showroomnow & ready for viewings. We are in the process of UK registering it.
