The MG J-Type is a sports car produced in England (Abingdon) between 1932 and 1934 as a successor to the Type C, D and M. It was sold in four versions as a 2-door roadster with rear-wheel drive and a front-mounted engine. The cars used an updated version of the engine used in the 1928 Morris Minor and Wolseley 10 models.
The J2 was produced between 1932 and 1934 and was the most common car in the model range. The car was powered by a 0.85-litre I4 engine, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. This allowed it to reach a speed of 105 km/h in the standard version. The most serious technical drawback is that it has only a 2-spline crankshaft, which can break when over-revving. In total, just over 2,000 examples of the J2 version were produced.
