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 superb photo, taken on Madeira Drive, Brighton of D. Bishop’s MG R Type was taken at a late thirties running of the town’s Speed Trials. If a viewer is aware of the year in question and the identity of the driver in the second MG please email info@prewarminor.com (This LAT Archive ‘Motor’ photograph appears here courtesy of Motorsport Images) NB (Tim Jackson responded to the appeal by writing the following: “In regards to the recent Triple M Corner No.354, I think the picture was taken at the BMC&LCC Western-Super-Mare Speed Trials on 8 October 1949. The R-type (RA0260) driven by D. Bishop (No.34), and behind is a J3 (J3751) driven by F.G.Lomax (No.31). This J3 was the subject of Triple M Corner No.35, shown in Scotland when new and still in standard form.) Thanks Tim. Ed.
