409 MG TA Midget (1936) ABL 964 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: MG TA Midget (1936-39) Engine 1292cc S4 OHV Production 3003 Registration Number ABL 964 (Bedfordshire) MG SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623797586658... The TA arrived in 1936 minus the previous generations versatile overhead cam engines, now replaced by pushrod overhead valve units as part of the Nuffield plan for future MGs following the takeover by Morris Motors. The MPJG engine similar to that of the Wolseley Ten produced ample power, but the potential for tuning was limited by the head and porting, there was syncromesh on the top two gear ratios, 9 inch hydraulic brakes and the suspension was softer than on earlier Midgets. The TA was built on a new frame with wider track and a 94 inch wheelbase producing a car that was larger with more passenger room, larger fuel tank and a new pressed steel scuttle. Better performance than the P types but it did not make the right noises and had lost much of the Midgets sporty feel CREAM CRACKER MGs The Midget was often used by owners as a club racer, but three cars were created by the Abingdon racing department as works Trials Cars., finished in a distinctive Cream and Brown the cars became known as the Cream Crackers.
