Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1934 MG PA Midget, sold for £21,375, has been extensively restored since 1984, including a new four-seater body and engine replacement. While the car benefits from a Marshall supercharger, sports camshaft, and retrimmed interior, it's not fully recognized by the Triple-M Register, and has a replacement engine. The listing highlights significant mechanical and cosmetic work to return it to near-original condition.

Condition

This car has undergone an extensive chassis-up restoration, with many components rebuilt or replaced. The engine has been overhauled, and the bodywork has been repainted. However, the car is noted as not being original with a replacement engine and body, plus the Triple-M Register does not recognise the car. The extensive restoration and attention to detail suggest a high level of care, but the non-original aspects impact the overall condition.
