Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1938 MG TA, one of only 3,003 ever made, is coming from a deceased estate after 29 years of ownership. While it may have been restored in the early 90's, it's now presented as a winter project car, with the radiator needing rechroming, but includes a full set of weather gear and original tools.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in generally good shape for its age, but the radiator grille needs rechroming. It was last driven about three years ago and was in good running order when parked up. There are also some invoices for new parts fitted in 1999 and 2008, suggesting that some reconditioning has been done in the past. Overall, the car appears to be in moderate condition, with some wear and tear but still functional and presentable.

Successor to the PB Midget, the TA introduced significant changes aimed at improving reliability, accessibility, and mass production efficiency following MG's integration into the Nuffield Organisation.
Visually, the TA retained the classic pre-war sports car styling MG enthusiasts expected – long bonnet, cutaway doors, fold-flat windscreen and dashing 19-inch wire wheels.
The body was built using traditional methods – steel panels stretched over an ash wood frame.
The TA was longer and wider than its predecessor, providing a much-needed increase in cockpit space and a smoother ride.
