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.
While the big national trials run by organisations such as the Motor Cycle Club attracted huge crowds, the best drivers and the attention of the weekly motoring magazines, many other small club events took place all over the U.K. each weekend. This photo was taken at one such trial run by the Lancs & Cheshire Car Club on 7th April 1934. Neither the location of the hill, nor the name of the driver of MG J2 Midget (XJ 5251) is known, although he is likely to be a local man as his car was registered in Manchester in the early months of 1933.
