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 scene was photographed at the Donington 12-Hour Race held on 24th July 1937. It features the M.G. of D. Powell leading the Stapleton/Morris-Goodall Aston-Martin Ulster and the 1.5-litre HRG of Scott/Halford. All three cars completed the race but in the reverse order to that pictured here. The HRG was 10th, the Aston Martin 13th and Powell’s M.G. came home 22nd overall and 8th and last in its class.
