Chassis No. TA0412

 

 

 

History: The MG TA replaced the PB in 1936. The previous advanced overhead cam engine was now not in use by any other production car so it was replaced by a more typical MPJG OHV unit from the Wolseley 10 but with twin SU carburetors, modified camshaft and manifolding. The engine displaced just 1292 cc, with a stroke of 102 mm and power output was 50 hp at 4,500 rpm. The four speed manual gearbox now had synchromesh on the two top ratios. Like the PB, most were two seat open cars with a steel body on an ash frame. It was capable of reaching nearly 80 mph in standard tune with a 0–60 mph time of 23.1 seconds. Unlike the PB, hydraulic brakes were fitted. Just over 3,000 were made and in 1936.

 

TA0412: Meticulously restored, this car was held in a private collection for many years until last year, when it was purchased and refreshed to its current condition. Mechanical and cosmetic restoration include: new burl walnut dash, steering wheel and gauges, fuel system including carburetors, brakes, drivetrain, undercarriage, and a complete concours detail of the engine and car. This RHD example features a matching number drivetrain, rear mounted spare, wire wheels, driving lamps, badges and badge bar.
