The MG M-type (also known as the MG Midget) is a sports car that was produced by the MG Cars from April 1929 until 1932. It was sometimes referred to as the 8/33. Launched at the 1928 London Motor Show when the sales of the larger MG saloons was faltering because of the economic climate, the small car brought MG ownership to a new sector of the market and probably saved the company.[1] Early cars were made in the Cowley factory, but from 1930 production had transferred to Abingdon.
