Handsomely preserved!.. A very enjoyable driver!... 1930 MG M-type Boat Tail Speedster Chassis No. 2M3347 Engine No. 3112B Specs: 27 bhp, 847 cc single overhead cam four-cylinder engine, two-main bearings, three-speed gearbox, ladder frame and underslung axles, mechanical brakes, operated by Bowden cables. Wheelbase: 78" History: The first diminutive MG M-Type Midget was based on the recently launched original Morris Minor. MG’s founder Cecil Kimber had rushed his 10-foot long, two seater to market to be unveiled at the 1928 Olympia Motor Show in London. The new boat-tailed Midget was designed to compete with the Austin Seven sports models and other similar small sporting cars. Initially powered by a 20 bhp, 847 cc single overhead-cam four-cylinder engine, horsepower rose to 27 bhp at 4,500 rpm by 1930. Major design factors that made the M-Type a success in competition included the left-side, siamesed inlets with exhaust ports for two and three cylinders and the slightly inclined valves in the head operated by finger-type cam followers. Ultimately, this overhead cam engine would prove equally successful in racing for the later, more powerful C-Type, Magna and Magnette range. MG had quickly established itself as a successful competitor, and with the lightweight M-Type Midgets, the marquee began regularly chalking up wins at hillclimbs, trials, rallies, and at Brooklands and other racing circuits across Europe. M-Type Midgets were commonly fitted with a sporty body, from the Carbodies coachwork firm, which consisted of an ash frame paneled in fabric-covered plywood. The tail also incorporated a hinged, pointed boattail for luggage and a spare tire. This rare and very drivable classic, of which only 27 examples remain in the U.S., represents the genesis of the MG marquee. 2M3347: With its flowing forest green fenders and subtly contrasting green vinyl body covering, this handsome MG remains a wonderful and unique driver. The boat tail sports an older restoration which has held through over the years. The charm of the driver quality aesthetics only add to the MG’s appeal. Interior upholstery and carpeting remain in good condition with zero wood rot on the flooring or anywhere else throughout the vehicle. Mechanically the car is quite stable; if using the proper choking procedure, the boat tail will start up first crank. Tracking and steering is very similar to many vehicles of the period, and shifting is smooth and easy through all gears. Weather on the road or at the show, this always fun-to-drive M-type is bound draws attention and compliments anywhere it goes! · Rare and very desirable vintage British roadster! · Handsomely preserved! · A very enjoyable driver!
