Very similar to the previous 18/80 Mk.1 the car now sits on a wider 52 inch track allowing for more passenger space, and with larger 14 inch brakes, a revised rocker cover breather, a slightly lower final drive and a four speed gearbox.

Mark 1 and 2 production overlapped. In 1930 MG introduced a Mk.2 Speed model which was actually a Mark 1 chassis with Dewandre servo brake, an outside hand brake and cutaway drivers door.

It quickly changed hands to a second owner Mr Bill Jones in 1934 and it remained in the same family until 2011. when it was acquired by its current owner, who spent two years on a total restoration
