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.
By 1934, Donington Park was an established motor racing venue, with at least five well-attended meetings on the calendar that year. The second of these meetings was held on 12th May, with this photo being taken during the third event of the day, an open race for cars up to 1100 cc (blown or unblown). Two of the combatants were A.J. Cormack driving a blown Alta (no.6) and H.L. Maddick in his MG Magna (no.20). They were to finish 3rd and 4th respectively, behind Rayson’s Riley and another Magna, this one driven by C.E. Martin. (An LAT Collection photo)
