The Origins of M.G.

The M.G. Car Company was formed by Cecil Kimber who was employed as General Manager of Morris Garages. He began building and selling special versions of Morris cars in 1923. He called them M.G.s in recognition of the parent company Morris Garages. Kimber went to great lengths to emphasise that M.G. stood for itself and not for Morris Garages; a fine line of distinction that haunted him, he even placed full page ads in motoring magazines to explain that point.
