The Airline Coup\u00e9<\/h4>\n

The PA chassis was the first to receive the somewhat rare and striking Airline Coup\u00e9 with it’s sliding roof and teardrop portholes. It was a design by Henry Allingham that was primarily executed by Carbodies of Coventry using a ash-frame and sheet steel skin. Some cars were produced by Whittingham & Mitchel. Since these cars were built to custom order, many were different in detail.<\/p>\n

The Coupes were somewhat wider than normal and used an extension panel around the standard firewall.<\/p>\n

The demand for a MG Coup\u00e9 was somewhat small which explains entire production listed by Airline Coup\u00e8 registry at just 50 cars across the PA, PB, NA, NB and TA chassis. The registry lists 27 coupes on the PA chassis, 15 on the PB chassis, 4 rebodied cars, and just 7 on the NA\/NB 6-cylinder chassis. About half are accounted for today.<\/p>\n
