Derived from the first MG Midget. the M-Type. and introduced for
1933. the two-seater J2 established the classic MG look which would
characterise the Abingdon marque's sports cars into the 1950s. With
its deeply cutaway doors. fold-flat windscreen and fixed cycle-type
mudguards. it revealed its race-bred pedigree in every line and set
the British sports car fashion for many years. This new Midget was
given the factory designation 'J2' and it was announced
simultaneously that a new super-sports 'J3' model and a racing 'J4'
would quickly follow. The Midget's 847cc. overhead-camshaft. br/>Wolseley-derived engine was coupled to a four-speed gearbox and
housed in a simple chassis frame featuring half-elliptic springing
all round and cable-operated 8" diameter brakes. Thus equipped. the
lightweight J2 possessed exemplary handling and steering by the
standards of the day. and was good for 65mph. In total. 2083 of the
two-seater versions were produced between mid-1932 and early 1934
and today the J2 is one of the most sought after of pre-war MG
sports cars.

This J2 was purchased by the vendor in 2010 from the estate of
Philip Lomax; an avid classic car collector in whose ownership. br/>this MG was fully restored in the 1980's. Fitted with an XPAG
engine. gearbox and updated MG TA hydraulic brakes. high torque
starter and alternator for rallying. this car is ready to be used
and enjoyed. For those collectors who wish to put this car back to
the original specification it is supplied with an M-type engine in
bits. including engine block number 10781A. two heads. crankshaft
and a number of new parts including pistons. bearings and con rods.
Finished in two-tone mid and dark Brunswick green with red
interior. this J2 is also supplied with a V5 registration document. br/>a buff continuation log book from 1958 and various invoices
for recent mechanical work amounting to several thousands of
pounds. This is 1930's driving at its most enjoyable.
