The MG SA, first sold as the 2-litre, was a sporting four-door saloon built from 1936 to 1939. It was planned to rival SS Cars and Bentley with independent suspension under the factory code EX150, but after MG joined Morris Motors in 1935 a more conservative car with live rear and beam front axles appeared instead. A tuned six-cylinder Morris engine grew from 2,288 to 2,322 cc in 1937, with horizontal SU dashpots to keep the bonnet low, a four-speed gearbox and Lockheed hydraulic brakes. The body was built in-house by Morris, and the chassis had a built-in Jackall jacking system.
