The MG T-Type is a series of body-on-frame open two-seater sports cars that were produced by MG from 1936 to 1955. Known as the Midget, the series included the TA, TB, TC, TD, and TF models. Although the design was contemporary in the 1930s, it had grown outdated by the 1950s, and was replaced by the all new MGA in 1955.

The MG TA is a prewar sports car built with a steel body on a traditional ash wood frame. Most cars were open-topped two-seaters, but a few were built into luxury sports cars by coachbuilders such as Salmons (the Tickford drophead coupe) and by Carbodies (the closed-roof Airline coupe).

The new TA was longer and wider than its predecessor, the P type Midget, the car was also much more comfortable and roomier and had the luxury of hydraulic brakes, It was also very competitively priced at £222 and represented very good value for money.

The mechanical specification of the TA made it a much easier car to drive, whilst still maintaining the reputation of its predecessors. This opened up a whole new appeal of sports cars to a much wider market than before.

A detailed history of the MG TA through TC. Background. At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, production of cars at MG in Abingdon had given way to production and maintenance of machines of war, as it had at most other engineering plants over the whole country.

A new two seater sports car, the TA, was designed for 1936 and it differed from preceding models in two ways. The OHC engine, which in one form or another had powered most MGs to date (the Midgets, Magnas and Magnettes), was discarded amid cries of despair from the diehards and more comfort and weather protection were provided.
