1939 MG TA . The MG ‘T’ Series Midget appeared in mid - 1936 as the replacement for the previous ‘P’ Type. A slightly larger car, the new model featured a pushrod engine displacing 1292cc, which developed 48 bhp and gave a maximum speed approaching 80 mph - a very creditable performance for a car of this horsepower rating.

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 Although the design was contemporary in the 1930s, it had grown outdated by the 1950s, and was replaced by the all new MGA in 1955.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).

Taken from the new Morris 10, and known as the XPAG engine, it had a much stronger bottom-end than the previous unit, better valve timing and a better designed cylinder head. These design features combined to give a power output of 45bhp. The engine was backed up by a dry clutch and a better set of ratios than before with an improved synchromesh.
