MG - MG WA
The MG WA was introduced midway through 1938 as the much larger evolution and alternative to their SA, with production running in parallel. The WA was a large car which was offered as a saloon, a tourer (by Charlsworth) or a Tickford drophead coupe. The WA had a wider track allowing more room inside, with larger brake drum diameter going up from 12" to 14". To propell the WA the engine was increased in capacity to 2561cc while the opportunity was also taken to raise the compression ratio which added another 20hp. Production of the MG WA was halted not long after it was introduced in1939.
MG WA tyre size was originally 5.50x18 and Blockley produces two superb high speed rated 550x18 tyres, with differing tread pattern choice, offering period look and truly great handling, and at a remarkably low price because we sell direct to the end users - details of these Blockley 18" tyre choices below:
