This MG SA with a Tickford body already participated in the Via Flaminia in 2006. Although his owner Terkel Lund Ovesen was more under the car than he drove in, he managed to win the first prize overall. With some support from the penalty system that favored pre-war cars.
De MG SA was built from 1936 until the war. The original idea was to make a car that could compete with the SS (Jaguar) even Bentley. When the MG SA came on the market there was an 2l six cylinder engine. Apparently the idea had been abandoned for the Bentley to compete.
Incidentally, the name Tickford only used from the war. Until then, the company was called Salmons and Son and it was located on Tickford Street in Newport Panell.
