MG SA ‘Keller’ Special, year 1937. Chassis (VIN) number S 2004, engine number QPHG2418. Exterior colour burgundy over crème white combined with burgundy wheels and a beige mohair hood and hood cover. The car features a beige leather interior and burgundy carpet trimmed with beige piping. The 2.3 Litre six-cylinder MG SA model was introduced in 1935. This model was developed to have an MG proposition in the larger class of Alvis, SS, and Lagonda cars. This MG SA chassis left the factory fitted with a saloon bodywork. In the period 2002-2009 the chassis was restored and fitted with a breathtakingly beautiful special open tourer bodywork in the style of the Swiss ‘Keller’ cars. The special hand-crafted bodywork with ash frame was supplied and fitted by MG SA/VA/WA specialist SVW Ltd. In Hull. This renowned British firm has built seven bodies in the ‘Keller’ style. In the late 1930s twelve chassis with this bodywork style were built in a cooperation of the firms of Keller and Reinbold & Christie in Zurich, Switzerland. One of the original ‘Keller’ cars is still known to exist in the USA. This wonderful MG SA ‘Keller’ Special is one of the seven recreations built by SVW Ltd. The restored and overhauled MG SA chassis features original components with some upgrades, and the bodywork is built with an ash frame with metal panels and aluminium doors.
