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.
Gopsall Park, Leicestershire, was the venue for the 1933 Inter-Varsity Speed Trials, held over a half-mile course in March that year. Three C Type MG Midgets were competing, those driven by R.R. Jackson, K.D. Evans and K. Collett, although, who is at the wheel of RX 8606 (seen here), is not clear from the contemporary reports. Kenneth Evans, in one of the C Types, finished with the 3rd fastest run of the day.
