The MG M-type was manufactured from April 1929 to 1932 and was
sometimes referred to as the 8/33. Launched at the 1928 London
Motor Show when sales of the larger MG saloons began to falter due
to the economic climate. the small car brought MG ownership to a
new sector of the market and probably saved the company. Early cars
were made in the Cowley factory but from 1930. production had
transferred to Abingdon. The M-Type was one of the first genuinely
affordable sports cars to be offered by an established
manufacturer. as opposed to modified versions of factory-built
saloon cars and tourers. This two-door sports car used an updated
version of the four-cylinder bevel-gear driven overhead camshaft
engine used in the 1928 Morris Minor and Wolseley 10 with a single
S carburettor giving 20bhp. Drive was to the rear wheels through a
three-speed non-synchromesh gearbox. Early bodies were
fabric-covered using a wood frame; this changed to all-metal in
1931. Most cars had bodies made by Carbodies of Coventry and fitted
by MG in either open two-seat or closed two-door 'Sportsmans' coupé
versions. The M-type had considerable sporting success. both
privately and with official teams winning gold medals in the 1929
Land's End Trial and class wins in the 1930 'Double Twelve' race at
Brooklands.

This MG M-Type was originally registered on 8th July 1929 and is
sold as an ongoing restoration project. The vendor advises us he
has had the engine running recently and the chassis and floor is in
good order. The fabric on the body appears to be quite new. br/>although the bonnet will require painting. All of the parts are
thought to be present and require either refurbishing or refitting;
this car is supplied with a V5 registration document and an old
style buff logbook. This is a perfect project for the coming Autumn
months as it does not take up too much garage space. is simple to
work on and well supported through various clubs.
