Model History: MG PA and PB Midget

In 1934, MG's replacement for the J2 Midget was launched: the MG PA. It was fitted with an all-new 847cc OHC engine with a three-bearing crankshaft and came in either two-seat or four-seat form from the factory. Coachbuilders offered other alternatives: a popular but expensive 'Airline Coupe' was created by H W Allingham of London.

Unlike earlier Midgets, the PA was not intended as a racing model, but unflattering comparisons with the Singer Nine when George Eyston entered three in the 1935 Le Mans 24 Hours prompted Abingdon to create a more powerful version that year. With a larger 939cc engine creating 43bhp, the 'PB' was only built until February 1936, with 525 made.
