Own every MG.
MG stands for Morris Garages, a dealership in Oxford. Cecil Kimber built the first sports cars there in 1924. The Abingdon factory opened in 1929 and the octagon became the badge. Since the 2000s the brand has belonged to Chinese groups. Its cars are still sold today.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
MG
1961–1979 · Inline-4
Grille, badges, trim and instruments: that was all that set the 1961 Midget apart from the Austin-Healey Sprite, enough to justify its higher price. A 948 cc car tested by The Motor in 1962 reached 87.9 mph (141 km/h) and needed 18.3 seconds to reach 60 mph.

MG
1995–2011
Steve Harper sketched it in January 1991, inspired by the Jaguar XJR-15 and the Ferrari 250LM. It was the first all-new MG since the MGB of 1962, a mid-engined rival to the Mazda MX-5. Designed under British Aerospace, it reached the market after Rover had been sold to BMW.

MG
1955–1962
The MGA's shape goes back to 1951, when Syd Enever drew a streamlined body for an MG entered at Le Mans. BMC chairman Leonard Lord first shelved it, until falling sales of the old-style MGs changed his mind. It was so different from them that it was called MGA, "the first of a new line".
