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.
On 5th July 1931 the Bugatti Owners Club held a motoring gymkhana for their members. Here 1930 MG Midget (MG 709) is seen taking part in one of the events although it’s not easy to establish what is going-on from this photo. The kneeling passenger in MG 709 looks to be holding a piece of ribbon which is atteched to the Morris Oxford’s calormeter. Alongside the MG a Bugatti saloon has a similiar attachment, this time connected to the Aston Martin at its rear. Are there any suggestions as to what may be taking place? (Bill Brunell photo)
