If you have managed to find this website online, a word about the site name is in order:

Simply stated, the name was available.

You may anticipate this would be a treatise on Cs, K3s, Qs or Rs from the glories of the pre-war era and their subsequent role in vintage racing to this day.
Or you may be hoping for something new about LeMans or Sebring during the hey-days of factory participation with MGAs, MGBs and MGCs.

But, when my wife Rachel and I have owned our M.G.s for over 60 years our life has been oriented towards the marque, friends have been made and stories have been forged.

This web site is very simple but hopefully effective in catalouging the myriad pictures we have taken through the years and their associated stories.

The initial versions cover our M.G. Midgets made between 1932 and 1934, each one having a significant early history. This was high-point of the Triple-M period
