Descended from the first Midget - the M-type - and introduced for 1933, the J-type refined the qualities of the immediately preceding C and D types, reaffirming the classic MG look which would characterise the marque's sports cars well into the 1950s.
The range comprised the J1 four-seat tourer, J2 two-seater and J3 and J4 competition variants.
With its deeply cutaway doors, fold-flat windscreen and fixed cycle-type mudguards, ithe J-type revealed its race-bred pedigree in every line and set the British sports car fashion for many years.
Today the model is one of the most sought after of pre-war MG sports cars.
One of only 380 built, this particular J1 Midget was delivered new via MG main dealer Hazlemere Motor Co Ltd to Jim Gammon, bother of racing driver Ken Gammon.
Its next owner, from 1937, was Leslie Hawthorn of The TT Garage.
There is then a gap in the ownership history covering the war years before the MG re-emerged in 1947 in the ownership of one G J Roberts.
