Hi
There is a photo displayed outside the British Motor Museum that I noticed a few weeks ago and would ike to know what the cars are. The only caption is Abingdon Factory 1936 (inscribed in the photo ledger). I can only upload a link to the photo page as the original is copyright:
http://www.motorgraphs.com/heritage/abingdon-mg-assembly-1936_a154328.aspx
Starting at the bottom I think the first one is a K1 (or is it an L1?).
The second is 4 cylinder so either a J1 or a D1?
The third looks to be another K1?
The next is only just visible with a 'boat tail' showing, so must be an M type?
The fifth looks to be a J2 but could it be a late F2?
I would appreciate your help.
Many thanks
Paul

First is an K or N?
Second a J1 (you can see the carbs so not a D)
Third an L1
Fourth indeed the tail end of an M
After that I’d guess a J2 as you would see the bigger brakes of an F2

My guess. Definitely K1 front, J1 next, 90% sure L1 then J2 then another L1, but there may be something small between the J2 & second L1.
