M type


The first 'Midget', introduced in 1928, was based on a Morris, as the first MGs had been. The 'Minor' was Morris's answer to the Austin 7, but its Wolseley designed engine was detuned. The 'F' type and later MGs owe much to the 'M' type for opening up the post-Depression market for economy sports cars. 'Bespoke' bodies were available, but 'M' types were mainly supplied with a 2-seater boat-tailed body. Fabric-covered at first on the lightweight Weymann principle, but later steel panelled. Some cars were given Coupé bodies similar to the 'F' type Salonette but with a boot - as on some of the larger MGs still being produced.
