MG Type
Hi
The car in question is an MG VA tourer and is one of around 100 left of around 2400 made. This car has just come back on the road after a 40 year restoration – poor owners=long restoration.
The Tickford model is a little rarer and more sought after and is distinguished by a pram hood mechanism and flat top to the doors as well as a spare wheel located in the front wing.
It was great to have the opportunity to take some pics around the Tiger at Headcorn and thanks to Richard for his excellent photos shown here.

Not quite the same quality but……
…….. on a similar theme. Coventry quite a few years ago.

Just had a look at my car books and I think the MG is a rare VA Tickford model based on the engine size you quote. Not one of MG’s more successful designs but very pretty nonetheless. It sold for £325 in 1938 and might be worth £16-£20K now. The Tiger Moth sold for £800 and is worth around £40K now. You pays your money and takes your pick I guess.

The MG was registered in 1938 and has a 1549 cc motor if that is any help! Is ‘muddy’ a photographic expression?:confused:

A nice comparison of two contemporary “vehicles”. Was the MG an SA model?

Great pictures but the thread title was a bit worrying!:)
