MG's J3 racer actually shrank its engine below the standard J2's — down to 746cc — purely to legally compete in the fiercely contested 750cc racing class, leaning on a supercharger to make up the difference.
The J2's overhead-cam drive had a nasty quirk: any oil leak from the cambox could drip straight into the dynamo's brushgear — turning a routine seal failure into a fire hazard.
