The
MG J2 Midget was the successor of the MG J1 Midget and was
introduced in the year 1932. This little MG sports car stole the
hearts of many sports car enthusiast. Steering and handling the
"Midget" was fabulous. The gear change was floor
mounted and the car was fitted with a four speed gearbox.
Very nice detail is when you open the engine bonnet half the car
opens... you have a free view in the lower section of the
passenger compartment where the gearbox is located.
Sources mentioned that the British magazine Autocar clocked the
top-speed of the J2 Midget at 82 miles per hour...many owners
tried to reach the same top-speed, but that never happened the
proud owners only trashed their engines... What came to light
later was that the MG factory gave the Autocar test drivers a
special tuned version...auch!
Very desirable little MG.
