1929 MG 18/80 Mk I Tourer

An early Oxford-built car, known to the Early MG Society as possibly the finest example still running.

Details reproduced with kind permission from the Early MG Society Website

This MG 18/80 Mk I is a wonderful example of this iconic English car.

An early Oxford-built motor, it is currently owned by a man who left Oxford University in the 1960s and went straight into work for the British car industry at the Cowley works. Now that he has finished driving his grown up children to their Oxford weddings in the beautifully maintained MG, he’s ready to let it head off for other adventures.

This 4 door, 4 seater tourer has a very elegant hood which is easy to pop up if the season demands a greater amount of protection, but with or without the roof up, it is not only charming and fun, but it’s also a highly capable motorcar known to the Early MG Society as one of the finest examples of its kind.

It was first owned by a Mr Salter who kept the car running from 1929 until 1952, and then stored it until the early 1960s. It changed ownership at that point but remained off the road until the new owner, Mr Broughton, commissioned a total restoration in 1982. There is a wonderful photograph album which documents this process.

It remains in excellent condition to this day and is ready for a spring and summer of delightful motoring.
