The MG J2
Midget was the succesor of the MG J1 Midget and was introduced in the
year 1932. This little MG sportscar stole the hearts of many sportscar
enthousiast. Steering and handling the "Midget"was
fabulous. The gearchange was floormounted 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 testdrivers a special tuned version...auch!
Very desirable little MG.
