Friends of Oto... The automotive industry saw its heyday in the 1920s. Developed by industry players in Europe and then spread to America, competition between various brands began to feel more alive. MG or better known as Morris Garage is one of the brands from Europe, precisely from Abingdon, England, which helped revive the automotive world full of class and quality. MG's golden age was enriched by its work in winning various prestigious competitions.
First record in land speed record The MG EX120, nicknamed 'The Magic Midget', won the Mille Miglia (1,000 mile) race in Italy in 1931, followed by the MG K3 Magnette in 1933, and the EX181 driven by the legendary Sir Stirling Moss at the Bonneville Salts flats in 1957. Leading the way was the Old Number One's gold medal success at the Land's End Trial in 1925, proving the seriousness of MG and its founders to make the MG brand all about quality and class.
Le Mans, the most historic and famous 24-hour endurance race in the world, was attended by 6 iconic women, namely Margaret Allen and Coleen Eaton, Doreen Evans and Barbara Skinner, as well as Joan Richmond and Joan Simpson who drove 3 MG PA cars in 1934 and made history and proved that women can also compete on the race track by completing Le Mans.
The 1950 Grand Prix, the British Rally Championship Silverstone Tires 1400 in 2007, and the 2012 British Touring Car championship (BTCC) are some of the car racing events that MG has also won with the MG TC model driven by Frank Dominianni, the MG ZR driven by Luke Pinder, and the MG6 driven by Timothy Jason Plato in each of these championships.
MG began to develop its influence in America after the Second World War in 1945. MG T Type sports cars were carried by American soldiers and since then the United States has become an important market for MG exports. Entering 2020, MG expanded to Indonesia as a market that has great potential in Southeast Asia. 3 With a variety of models offered to meet the expectations of the Indonesian people, MG has launched the MG ZS in March 2020 and most recently the MG HS in August 2020.
