One of the most archetypical sports cars must surely be the 1930s MG. With its slab tank, cutaway doors and humped scuttles it set the fashion for many years to come. And still they are much loved by enthusiasts. This one, a 1933 MG J3, will be offered by Coys at their auction on October 23 at the Auto Moto d’Epoca in Padova, Italy. It’s first owner was the Honorable miss Enid Watson, a keen lady motorist. The MG competition department modified the J3 to miss Watsons specifications, including two bucket seats instead of the standard bench. And remarkably they are still fitted. Between 1934 and 1937 miss Watson extensively used her J3 in many rallies and trials, winning two ladies’ cups and two First Class Awards in the process. The main photo shows her battling during the 1935 Colmore Trophy Trial. Check Lot 158 for more photos and information about this lovely J3. (images courtesy Coys and MG-archivist Wiard Krook)
