Comes with a restoration photo album, a workshop manual, and MG catalogs First MG P model In two-tone: Oxford & Cambridge Blue Modest pre-war charm The MG P-Type was a series produced only from 1934 to 1936. It was the slightly more powerful successor to the very basic J-Type and its little brother N-Type produced in the same years. In addition to expanding the range, the P-Type brought mechanical advancements in the form of - among many new innovations - an updated camshaft and a similar crankshaft. Despite its external resemblance to its predecessor, the P-Type brought with it many innovations. It featured an entirely new engine, an efficient 847 cc four-cylinder engine that powered a new three-bearing crankshaft. The predecessor J-Type had only a two-bearing crankshaft. An extra bearing was added that allowed the engine to rev higher and provide more power, reaching a top speed of 119 kilometers per hour. In addition to the new crankshaft, MG claimed that the P-Type was adorned with around a hundred novelties and efficient solutions. The press praised it when it was first introduced, which had a favorable impact on the sales of this innovative pioneer. In total, nearly 2,500 examples of the original PA model and the PB variant that appeared a year later were built. According to MG, the P-Type offered all the features that a racing car driver of that period would desire as standard, making it highly sought after. Racing drivers, not by coincidence, chose it, leading to its success on the racing circuit. MG PA The MG PA was the first of the two models in the MG P series. It served as a pioneer that initiated a mechanical revolution for the reasons mentioned above. However, the mechanical revolution was not the only reason for its success, as a glance at the PA leaves an almost touching impression. It is a head-turner, a favorite among the public, even for those who are not car enthusiasts. The PA was available both as a roadster and as a closed coupe, and was produced until 1935. About two thousand PAs were built, and some of them can still be found in collections, making it highly sought after.
