MG J2 1932
General description :
Rare 1932 MG J2This rare and highly sought-after 1932 MG J2 is a beautiful driver that wears an older restoration. Red with red interior. Increasingly collectible and desirable British roadster. The two-seater J2 established the classic MG look which would characterise the Abingdon marque's sports cars into the 1950s. The Midget's 847cc, overhead-camshaft, Wolseley-derived engine was coupled to a four-speed gearbox and housed in a simple chassis frame featuring half-elliptic springing all round and cable-operated 8" diameter brakes. The lightweight J2 possessed exemplary handling and steering by the standards of the day and was good for 65mph. In total, 2,083 of the two-seater versions were produced between mid-1932 and early 1934 and today the J2 is one of the most sought after of pre-war MG sports cars. A rare opportunity to acquire a nicely restored little pre-war MG.Price: $59,500
