The vendor has provided the following:
- For recommission the engine starts, brakes need sorting i.e. a new master brake cylinder
- Announced in 1936 the MG TA Midget the new TA was longer and wider than its predecessor, the P type Midget
- The car was also much more comfortable and roomier and had the luxury of hydraulic brakes
- It was also very competitively priced at £222 and represented very good value for money
- The quality and straightforward design soon won over the stalwart overhead camshaft brigade as the TA had kept all the most desirable features and the larger engine provided much more pulling power throughout the range.
- Just too many vehicles and not enough time or storage area, purchased from Mathewson's Summer 2025
