MG VA Tickford - Travel in style and comfort

March 30, 2023 — Bruno von Rotz 58

MG is a well-known brand; almost everyone who is interested in old cars is familiar with the MGA or MGB models. However, the British car manufacturer also produced cars that hardly anyone remembers today. One of these is the MG VA, or MG 1 1/2-Litre, as it was known at the time. And it was also available as a particularly rare Tickford version. This driving report tells the story of the pre-war car and shows it in historical and current pictures.
