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.
In early March 1934 the Inter Varsity Acceleration Test took place on the Eynsham by-pass just west of the City of Oxford. Here 21 year-old Dick (R.J.B.) Seaman won his class in his MG Magnette covering the one kilometre course in 31.33 seconds. Seaman went on to become a celebrated Mercedes-Benz grand prix racing driver before a fatal crash in the 1939 Belgium Grand Prix. (LAT collection plate reference C2615 courtesy Motorsport Images)
