Two-seat Midget of 1932 that fixed the look of the MG sports car for twenty years: cutaway doors, a fold-flat windscreen, a slab fuel tank and the spare wheel strapped on behind. It had an 847cc overhead-camshaft engine and was light enough to feel quick. Later cars swapped the cycle wings for long swept ones.
