MG P-Type (1934 to 1936)

The MG P-type is a sports car that was produced by MG from 1934 to 1936. This 2-door sports car used an updated version of the Wolseley Motors-designed and made overhead camshaft, crossflow engine, used in the 1928 Morris Minor and previously fitted in the J-type Midget of 1932 to 1934. The first version of the P-Type, the PA, used an 847 cc (51.7 cu in) engine which produced 36 bhp (27 kW) at 5,500 rpm, similar to the J-Type's. The PB, introduced in 1935, had a 939 cc enigne which increased output to 43 bhp (32 kW). Externally the versions are very similar, the main difference being the radiator grille, where the PA has a honeycomb and the PB has vertical slats.
