The Triple M series of MG’s all belong to a family of models that commenced with the 1929 MG Midget and continued through to the mid-thirties via a long string of four and six cylinder OHC engined cars that forged the marques identity.

The Scottish Motor Transport Company ran a fleet of buses across Scotland and also published the SMT Magazine throughout the thirties in conjunction with the LNER and LMS railway companies. The magazines were effectively travelogues, full of articles relating to places of interest and holiday destinations throughout the United  Kingdom; the magazine’s purpose to encourage would be holiday makers to use their services. Strangely perhaps, the magazine’s pages are populated with advertisements from car manufacturers and motor traders encouraging the readership to buy cars, effectively dissuading them to use the facilities offered by the magazine’s publishers. However, SMT had this base covered as they also owned a car dealership in Edinburgh. This very late MG Midget advertisement appears in the January 1932 edition and depicts a metal panelled model illustrated by Harold Connolly. Does anyone know of a later dated MG ‘M’ Type Midget advertisement?
