I have an original photo of MG reg number NJ 3328, taken in Chetwode Road, SW London, possibly in the 1930s. I do not know the model or if it survives.

PA0573, first owner Miss M.M. Blathwayt. Took part in the 1934 Brighton to Beer Trial. Looks like a non-survivor.
Cheers,

Margaret Blathwayt was more usually known as Peggy and she was entered in the 1934 Brighton - Beer Trial as Miss P Blathwayt. She went on to marry J C (Jim) Elwes of The Cresta Motor Company in Worthing, West Sussex and had a number of competition outings in the pair of J4s owned by the company, J4003 and J4004.
