1938 MG SA Tickford Drophead Coupe

The MG Company (Morris Garages) was founded in the 1920s and primarily produced two seat sports cars. While these were used in racing, a larger series of cars was introduced to compete in British road rallies. The road rallies typically ended with a Concours d'Elegance which Tickfords won often.

The SA Tickford was the largest MG ever built. Tickford was the company that produced the folding top which could be used in three different positions: closed, coupe DeVille, and fully open. Power came from a 2,322cc, 80 horsepower, 6-cylinder engine with dual carburetors and provided a top speed of 85 mph. The Tickford featured hydraulic jacks at each wheel allowing the car to be elevated from the ground from any position.

Options on this car include seven valve (tube) radio, a lighted rear number plate and an original rear bumper. This is one of 93 MG SA Tickfords that survive.
