Pierre DUMONT (1920–1987) - Lot 433
Pierre DUMONT (1920–1987) M.G. Midget Type P.A. 1934 Gouache on card stock 28 x 50 cm (signs of moisture, mold, and soiling) Notes: “The Midget is becoming more refined: its two-bearing crankshaft is replaced by a three-bearing one, which increases its sturdiness. The design evolves; the “bicycle-style” fenders are replaced by long, tapered fenders that would give the MG its distinctive look until 1964; the classic roadster with an external fuel tank was joined by the “Airline” coupe with its alluring profile. Various types of supercharged Midgets—whose displacement was generally reduced to 750 em°, but which could develop up to 72 CV.—successfully competed in numerous races on the continent and in England.” Bibliography: P. DUMONT, *Aux Temps Des Automobilistes*, Lazarus Publishing, 1965; our gouache reproduction appears on p. 167.
