Mike, the J2 was imported into the U.S. in the sense that a few came in
,usually privately. It wasn't until 1947 the MGs (TCs) were brought in by
arrangement with the factory in real numbers.
Please rent the" Gay Divorcee" with Astaire and Rogers, for the great scene
of Fred Astaire chasing Ginger in a J2. The film was shot in Hollywood, in
the 1930's. Great film on its own.
Check with the MMM Register in both the U.K. and U.S. Their addresses are
on the list on the MG home page. They might find your fathers car if it is
registered.
