1939 MG TA Midget and St. Bernard: When Your Four-Legged Co-Pilot Affects Performance
Hello motoring enthusiasts!
This week’s cartoon illustration tackles one of the more unusual challenges of classic car ownership: when your beloved four-legged companion becomes an unexpected performance modification! Our lady driver has discovered that her St. Bernard’s enthusiasm for motoring comes with a slight acceleration penalty – proving that not all automotive modifications improve your power-to-weight ratio!
The Star of the Show: 1939 MG TA Midget
Can you identify this classic British roadster? With its distinctive wire wheels, flowing fenders, and that unmistakable vertical grille, this little red beauty represents the golden age of affordable sports cars. This 1939 MG TA Midget is a perfect example of why classic MG models remain so beloved by car enthusiasts worldwide.
The MG TA was produced from 1936 to 1939, with this particular 1939 model representing one of 3,003 examples ever made. At £222 on the home market – the same price as its predecessor – it offered genuine British sports car performance at an accessible price point. This vintage MG featured a 1,292cc engine and could reach speeds of up to 78 mph, making it a thrilling drive for its era.
Classic Cars and Canine Companions: A Perfect Match

The bond between classic car enthusiasts and their pets reflects the passionate, personal nature of vintage motoring. Just as every classic car has its own character and quirks, so too do our beloved companions – and sometimes, as our cartoon suggests, they can affect performance in the most delightful ways!
