What's the history of the MG SA model and how many were produced?

Question

Accepted Answer

The MG SA, also known as the MG 2-litre, is a sporting saloon produced by MG from 1936 to 1939. Originally planned as an advanced performance saloon to compete with SS Cars (later Jaguar) and even Bentley, the car was launched as the 2-litre and later became known as the SA during production.

As for production numbers, the MG SA was quite rare:
- Total SA-Saloon models manufactured: 1,945 units
- Only 524 were produced in 1938 specifically
- Throughout the entire production run, only 340 of all SA models were exported worldwide

The SA was built on a Wolseley/Morris chassis with coachwork designed by MG Motorworks, featuring a 2.3L inline-6 engine producing 75 horsepower. These luxury sedans are now highly sought after by collectors for their elegant design and historical significance in British automotive history.
