This 1933 MG J2 was recently found for me by one of the premier Pre-war MG restoration specialists in the United States. This J2 (in its original cycle wing configuration) is super solid and a very respectable automobile. I am particularly impressed with the condition of the chassis, very hardware correct, the engine spins freely, and this automobile is very complete (especially having recently spent $14,000 on upgraded and reproduction parts to allow a successful and easier restoration including just purchased 1” OM carburettors since the photos were taken). Things that also caught my attention were the beautiful condition of the brake drums, linings and axel spindles/splines discovered when replacing the tires (they were pre-war retreaded originals and now replaced with new Longstone’s). Possible Race / Competition history via appearing to at one time having been fitted with a Brooklands style passenger side exterior exhaust. MG Car Club (MGCC) Triple-M (MMM) Register #3694. An unknown J2 to MMM Register (and any MG Register or Club) until 2023. The original MG Factory build sheet data (5 - 6 pages) has been researched is included in sale.
