MG 2.6-Litre WA range, introduced in late 1938, supplemented the
existing Midget, 1.5- and 2-Litre models. It is, in fact, based on
the 2-Litre SA (1936-39) with the same wheelbase but has a wider
body and a 2561 -cc (vs. 2322-cc) OHV six-cylinder engine which
develops 100 bhp at 4400 rpm. Some 370 were produced, with Saloon
and Tickford Folding Head Foursome bodywork, although a
Charlesworth Tourer was advertised also.
