It's the 95th anniversary of the incorporation of the MG Car Company. 🇬🇧 Borne from William Morris' Morris Garages - hence the initials! - thanks almost wholly to Cecil Kimber, a man hired as a sales manager who became a designer and developer of affordable sports cars. MG car production was already well underway by July 1930, and its growth into a separate company was further proof of their popularity. 📈 Kimber also saw the value of motorsport as a marketing tool - the original Midget took class wins at Brooklands, and the legendary Tazio Nuvolari won his second RAC Tourist Trophy in 1933 with a Magnette K3.   📸: [Andrew Jordan, MG6 GT, 2015 BTCC Donington Park] [Per Eklund and Dave Whittock, MG Metro 6R4, 1986 Rally Finland] [Donald and Earle Morley, MG MGB, 1964 Rally Monte Carlo] [George Eyston, MG Magnette, 1934 British Empire Trophy, Brooklands] [Tazio Nuvolari, MG Magnette K3, 1933 Tourist Trophy Ards] [MG Midget, 1930 Varsity Trial] . . . .   #MG #OnThisDay #Mo...
