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.
MG 703 is a 1930 MG Midget seen here taking part in the Royal Scottish Automobile Club’s 1936 Scottish Rally. It was entered by Lt. Comm. G.M.D. Maltby R.N. who was placed 24th (of 32 finishers) in Class 1, for cars up to 1300 CC. Maltby also picked up the “Old Car Prize” for cars built before 1933. The gruelling event took place over a five day period (1st – 5th June) on a mainly mountainous course. The car is a survivor and has been owned by forum member Ian Judd for 50 + years and who also competed in the car during the seventies.
