1936 MG TA Q-Type Special

There were only eight factory built Q-Types assembled in 1935 at Abingdon, making it one of the rarest of all MGs. The Q-Type was a highly modified racer based on the P-Type which quickly proved too fast for its small frame. As a result, enthusiasts began using the longer TA and TB frames and fitting them with the famed boat-tailed body. Later coupled with the larger and more reliable XPAG engine introduced in 1939, and the Q-Type Special was born.

This car began its life as TA 0784 in October of 1936. In keeping with its heritage, this TA Q-Type includes several racing modifications. The restored chassis is powered by a freshly overhauled and balanced XPAG engine enlarged to 1350cc and is equipped with:
Laystall Lucas alloy cylinder head, Andre-Hartford dampers (front),
Racing camshaft,
Armstrong dampers (rear),
Matched distributor, Alfin 10.5â€ brake drums,
Twin SU H2 carburetors,
Stainless steel exhaust,
The steering box has been restored and is controlled by a 15.5-inch Blumels steering wheel. The front axle, differential and gearbox have all been extensively refurbished.
