Further Info:
Chassis TA1514 was manufactured on 21st June 1937. Its XPJG engine carries a University Motors rebuild plate which, together with other research, suggests they were the supplying dealer. Dutch owned since at least c.1963, the MG has recently undergone a HMRC NOVA declaration and had a UK V5C applied for. A recent body restoration is evident with renewed paint to the chassis, axles and running gear. According to the vendor 'the ash frame has had sections replaced, but retains the original numbered cross member. The body is correct, with the original chrome on the headlamps, radiator grille, sidelights, windscreen and body fittings. New wheel spinners and running board treads have been fitted, along with correct-type dampers. The Ivory paintwork is in good condition and the interior, which has been re-trimmed in Red leathercloth, boasts period bucket seats. The floorboards and internal panelling have been replaced and the car is extremely stable on the road, with no scuttle shake or looseness in the door frames. Modern Lucas spotlights are fitted for night use and rallies. On the button with good oil pressure and effective cooling, this well-maintained TA is ready for immediate use in pre-war and MG club events'.
