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 MG R Type Midget is pictured taking part in either the May or September 1938 MCC Shelsley meetings. Which of the 10 R Types is this, and who was driving the car on this occasion? Is that a female face under the crash helmet? If you know the answers to these questions, please contact chris@prewarminor.com (Image: LAT Collection)
Member Jeremy Evans subsequently advises that “… the car was owned and driven by Sir Clive Edwards” and goes on to state “The R types that had exhausts on the driver’s side because of the twin cam heads were 253 and 258”. Thank you, Jeremy.
