Continuing my search for an older British car without a manual gearbox ...

Was there ever a (Wilson) pre-selector transmission, or fluid flywheel type, in any MG saloons?

Several British marques used them up through the 1950s.

Thanks.

I think the MG K type used one and if memory serves the MG WA may have used one also.

Yes. The MG Magnette was available with a 'Manumatic' optional gearbox. Pretty rare though.
