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 photo of MG P Type Midget (MG 5000) was taken on a beautiful spring day (31st March 1934) during the running of that year’s MCC London-Land’s End Trial. With H.G. Symmons at the wheel the P Type was photographed crossing a ford on an observed section deep in the West Country. ‘Cowbourne’ records that car and driver did not feature in the awards at that event.
