The MG VA, or MG 1.5 Litre as it was originally marketed, was produced by the MG Car company between February 1937 and September 1939 and was the smallest of the three sports saloons they produced in the late 1930s, the others being the SA and WA. A special version of the car was made for police use and had a 1707 cc engine and calibrated speedometer. The British Motor magazine tested a VA tourer which reached a top speed of just over mph (km/h) and a 0-50 mph time of 15.8 seconds. With the windscreen folded down the top speed increased to nearly mph (km/h).
