My mother had an MG during the 2nd World War in England. From the pictures I suspect that this might be a K1 Pillarless Saloon. Can anyone provide any information of the history or whereabouts of this car?

Shirley,
The car is in fact a KN Pillarless Saloon Chassis Number KN0388. Unfortunately the Register has no record of the whereabouts of the car, I suspect it does not survive.

Hi Peter,
Many thanks for the information on this car - Norman Ewing said you'd be able to help me. From reading my Mom's diary, I know she loved driving this car and had great fun with it, what 18yr old wouldn't. She actually used this car to obtain her driver's licence.
What a pity that it doesn't seem to have survived.

Shirley, as KN0388 does not appear to have survived, I can send photos of my restored KN0389, AVB124, which was on the assembly line directly after your Mom's KN0388. If interested, send me an email and I will send some detail photos of KN0389 restored to original 4 door pillarless condition.
If any reader has any early history of KN0389, AVB124, I would like to know any details. KN0389 was owned in the UK by a USA air force Sgt. S.H Hernandez in 1968. KN0389 was then imported on California in 1969.
Thanks for any response and details.
Bob, Canada

Bob,I can't let the opportunity to pass without saying what a fantastic car you have there and the right colour too!
I have always had a soft spot for the closed MG prewar models,thanks for sharing your photograph with us.
