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.
This photograph was taken during the 1936 running of the MCC London-Lands End Trial. The car in shot is K.W. Mahoney‘s 1933 J Type MG Midget (HH 6753) seen here ascending one of the eight observed hills en route. Mahoney was to compete in the ‘Lands End’ on four occasions in the run-up to the Second World War, although this was his only outing in an MG. He was to gain a Premier Award for his drive in 1936.
