MG’s Racing Legacy

In 1924, MG was established as Morris Garages under the leadership of British motoring pioneer, William Morris. It was General Manager Cecil Kimber who envisioned the development of faster automobiles with sportier aesthetics. By 1930, MG introduced its inaugural model, the 14/28 Super Sports, based on the Morris Oxford platform but featuring a sleek two-seater body capable of reaching speeds up to 65mph. In 1931, MG made history with the MG EX120, also called ‘The Magic Midget’, setting a remarkable land speed record for 750cc cars by achieving a top speed of 103.13mph.
