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.
As was the tradition, the MG Car Club’s annual Abingdon to Abingdon Trial started and finished in the grounds of the MG Car Co., with the 1936 running of the event taking place on 9th May. Here, R.A. MacDermid has wrestled his Magnette (JB 6865) to the summit of a steep incline, only to lose the back end as the car struggles for grip. A full report of the event, along with provisional results, can be found on page 300 in the June 1936 edition of Motor Sport magazine. (LAT Collection Image)
