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.
In this photo, Dennis Evans is seen hustling the Bellevue Garage MG R Type Midget through the Botton ‘S’ at the September 28th 1935 Shelsley meeting. His best time that day was 49.4 seconds, 2.8 seconds slower than R. Kohlrausch in the ‘Magic’ Midget, the winner of the 750 CC class. It should also be noted that Mrs Kay Petre driving the ‘White’ Riley won the Ladies Cup with a time of 43.8 seconds. (LAT Collection Photograph)
