1938 MG SA TOURER by CHARLESWORTH
History: Originally driven from the Abingdon factory as a rolling chassis to Charlesworth Bodies in Coventry to be fitted with this 4 seat - 4 door tourer body. It then went into service with the Lancashire Police Force where it remained until 1948.This is an extremely rare MG. Of the 90 SA tourers that were built there are only 18 survivors. Of those 18 only 7 have this body type and of those only 5 are roadworthy. Not only is this roadworthy but it is in fabulous condition having had a first class and well documented restoration some years ago. This must be one of the finest 4 seater tourer’s available today and at half the price of a Derby Bentley great value for money.
