The MG 14/28 Super Sports, launched in 1924, was the second line of cars from W. R. Morris's MG company, after the first line of 1548 cc Morris Oxfords given two-seater bodies by Charles Raworth & Sons. Cecil Kimber advertised "our popular M.G. Saloon" from 1924, built on the Morris Oxford 14/28 bullnose chassis collected from Cowley, slightly modified, with the engine mildly tuned and attractive two-colour aluminium-panelled bodies; the badge on the front still read Morris Oxford (MG badges did not appear on the nose until 1928), the site moved in 1925 to Bainton Road, Oxford, and about 400 were built. From late 1924 front wheel brakes were fitted, with half-elliptic springs at the front and three-quarter elliptics at the rear; a fabric-bodied saloon joined in 1926. In late 1926 Morris replaced the Bullnose radiator with a flat one and widened the chassis, requiring a new body by H. N. Charles, giving a heavier car with half-elliptic rear springs, a Solex carburettor in place of the SU and a mechanical servo; the 14/28 was replaced by the very similar 14/40 in 1927. Engine: 1802 cc four-cylinder side-valve, three-speed manual; wheelbase 106 in, length 150 in. The page gives no power figure.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

In 1974 Alfa built a one-off on this Spider: a Porsche-style solid rear window and lift-out roof panels, fewer than 2,000 made, the only Spider ever with a part-solid roof.
Over 100,000 people voted to name this car "Duetto" — but a chocolate-snack maker had already trademarked the word, and a Milan court ruling forced Alfa to sell it as the Spider 1600 instead.
After nearly 25 years of manual-only Spiders, the final Series 4 cars quietly added something Alfa purists never expected: an optional automatic transmission.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
The Frogeye had no boot lid at all — owners reached the spare wheel by tilting the seats forward into the dark cavity behind, a ritual they likened to potholing.
The Fairlady 2000's SR311 update came with a five-speed manual gearbox in 1967 — a genuinely unusual spec for any production car of that era.
