In 1912 bicycle maker William R. Morris formed a company called the Morris Motors Limited, and later formed the Morris Garages. In 1923 his company developed the MG (Morris Garages) series of sport cars. The MG line of automobiles fulfilled a need by the public for a modestly-priced, small, but high-performance sporting machine that could be driven quietly on the roads during the week and raced on Sundays. The MG TA series was introduced in 1936 as a two-seater vehicle with a 4-cylinder, 50 horse power, 79 cubic inch OVH engine. Top speed was around 80 MPH. Sports car enthusiasts could purchase the MG TA in "open or closed" cab configurations. A soft-top model ("Drophead" style) was later introduced that could remain open or be closed depending on the daily weather conditions and the preferences of the driver and passenger. A number of MG T series cars (production run 1936 through 1955) are still on the road today, providing enjoyment for the drivers and the viewing public alike.
