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.
J. Shewell-Cooper competed in reliability trials throughout the 1930s, almost exclusively in MG models, the sole exception being in 1930 when he entered an Austin Seven Arrow for that year’s ‘Exeter’. This photograph of his MG J2 Midget (JJ 5461) was taken at the 1933 running of the event, where he gained a Bronze Award. He was also a regular competitor in the MCC’s Land’s End trials as well as entering the 1936 ‘Edinburgh’. (LAT Collection plate C2357 appears here courtesy of Motorsport Images)
