The MG 14/28 Super Sports is a sports car that was launched in 1924. It was the second line of cars produced by W R Morris's MG company. The first line of cars were 1548cc Morris Oxfords fitted with a two-seater body supplied by Charles Raworth & Sons of Oxford. They were built at first in small premises in Alfred Lane, Oxford moving in 1925 to a larger site shared with Morris Motors Limited radiator factory at Bainton Road, Oxford. The badge on the front of the car still read Morris Oxford, MG badges were not to appear on the car's nose until 1928 but they did appear below the Morris badge on the honeycomb of the last of the 14-28 cars which had flat nose radiators.

  • Der MG 14/28 Super Sports war der erste PKW, der von MG 1924 herausgebracht wurde. 1927 wurde er vom fast baugleichen MG 14/40 ersetzt. Zunächst entstanden die Wagen in kleiner Zahl in der Alfred Lane in Oxford. 1925 wurde die Fertigung die Bainton Road verlegt, eine Produktionsstätte, die man sich mit der Kühlerfertigung von Morris teilte. Die Wagen trugen immer noch ein „Morris Oxford“-Emblem, MG-Embleme tauchten erst 1928 auf. Es entstanden ca. 400 Fahrzeuge. Cecil Kimber hatte einige Morris-Fahrzeuge mit Karosserien eigener Konstruktion versehen, aber 1924 fing er damit an, die Kühler des Morris 14/28 Bullnose mit “our popular M.G. Saloon” zu beschriften. Die eigentlichen Fahrgestelle holte er sich aus der nahegelegenen Fabrik in Cowley, veränderte sie leicht und tunte den Motor etwas. Dann wurden diese Fahrgestelle mit attraktiven Aluminiumkarosserien versehen und zweifarbig lackiert. Ab Ende 1924 wurden sie mit Vorderradbremsen ausgestattet. Es gab Holz- oder Drahtspeichenräder, die an der Vorderachse an Halbelliptik-Blattfedern und an der Hinterachse an Dreiviertelelliptik-Blattfedern aufgehängt waren. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit betrug ca. 104 km/h. Eine Weymann-Limousine wurde 1926 eingeführt. Ende 1926 überarbeitete Morris den Oxford und ersetzte den bekannten “Bullnose”-Kühler durch ein flaches Exemplar, verbreiterte das Fahrgestell und benötigte somit auch überarbeitete Karosserien. H. N. Charles wurde von Kimber für diesen Zweck eingestellt. Gleichzeitig bekam das Fahrgestell von Morris Garages Verbesserungen an Bremsanlage und Aufhängungen spendiert, womit sich MG weiter von seinen Morris-Wurzeln entfernte. Der überarbeitete Wagen war schwerer und so fiel die Höchstgeschwindigkeit auf 96 km/h. Andere Änderungen betrafen die Halbelliptik-Blattfedern an der Hinterachse und den Solex-Vergaser, der den früheren von SU ersetzte. Die Bremsanlagen erhielten mechanische Bremskraftverstärker. (de)

Cecil Kimber had rebodied a few Morris cars with coachwork to his own design but in 1924 he started to advertise "our popular M.G. Saloon" built on the Morris 14/28 Bullnose radiator, Oxford chassis. The basic chassis was collected from the nearby Cowley factory and slightly modified and the engine mildly tuned. They were then fitted with attractive aluminium panelled bodies painted in two colours with in 1924/5 bolt on artillery wheels with Ace discs and in 1925/6 bolt on wire spoke wheels. * * four-seater tourer 1925 * From late 1924 front wheel brakes were fitted. Suspension was by half-elliptic leaf springs at the front and three-quarter elliptics at the rear. The top speed was approximately 65 mph (105 km/h). A fabric-bodied saloon model was added to the range in 1926. In late 1926 Morris updated the Oxford dropping the distinctive Bullnose radiator in favour of a flat one and widening the chassis thus requiring a re-design of the body. H. N. Charles was employed by Kimber to do this and at the same time the basic chassis received improvements by Morris Garages to braking and suspension taking the MG car further away from its Morris roots. The revised car was heavier and the top speed dropped to around 60 mph (95 km/h). Other changes were half-elliptic springs at the rear and a Solex carburettor replacing the SU on the earlier car. The brakes received assistance from a mechanical servo. The 14/28 was replaced by the very similar 14/40 in 1927, after approximately 400 had been built. (en)
