Production

The 'F' type was introduced at the October 1931 Motor Show and
production finished a little over a year later. It seems some chassis
were not delivered until 1933 but they were possibly held at dealers.
Total number approximately 1250 - see below:-
Numbering commenced at F0251 - the factory telephone
number which may too have some arcane significance!
The car was used as a show car and may not have been sold
to the public and does not appear to have survived.
Several chassis numbers were changed by the MG factory,
including F0946 and F1467 which were used as the prototypes
for the 'L' type (L0251 and L0252 respectively) and later sold
to the public. F0946 was used for extensive testing.

The last 'F' type was F1500 - a special one-off Canadian order
with swept wings and a slatted radiator surround - features
to be seen on later cars. The first 30 'L' types may have been
converted from 'F' type chassis!
