Wind Back Time
MG VA Tourer 1937
Specifications
Description
One can speak highly in praise of the 1 1/2 litre MG.
It was well abreast of the times in general specification and planning; was possessed of particularly attractive bodywork and had a performance, which outstripped many other 1 1/2- litre cars.
Withal, it does it so quietly and smoothly, that one can be misled into thinking a six cylinder power unit (instead of the four cylinder it is) of a larger capacity than 1 1/2 litres is tucked away beneath the bonnet.
This is a car of infinite charm and one with a wide appeal, for while it was designed as a normal open tourer, it handles, cruises and rides generally in a way which places it favourably in the eyes of the sports car enthusiast.
Performance in the terms of maximum speed has always been an influential factor where MG car owners are concerned and with the new model, there was no disappointment in this direction.

While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
