MG Y TYPE SPORTS SALOON
MG Y Type by Neil Cairns
Neil Cairns is known to many in the Club for his excellent engineering knowledge particularly in relation to the MG Type. Neil has decided to put all that knowledge down in print for benefit of owners of this amazing car.
The book starts of with the development history and covers the various models, YA, YB and YT in detail. Neil has based this on his 25 years of experience of owning and driving a Y Type.
He also covers hints and tips for buying a car together with many technical tips that are invaluable for an owner. He also covers the development of the XPAG engine, covering the gearbox, chassis and rear axle. For those with a restoration project on the go, he even includes a chapter on this with detailed information on how to go about restoring and dealing with the dreaded rust.
This is a gem of a book, not only for an owner of a Y Type but also for anyone with a general interest in MG’s.

MG by Jonathan Wood
Britain’s most popular sporting marque, MG has emerged as one of a handful of British motoring names to survive into the 21st century. From the quintessential open two-seater MG Midget, through the booming post-war years and the emergence of MG as a provider of sports cars for the world, Jonathan Wood provides an in-depth analysis of the rise and fall of a motoring legend. Examining the various models in detail, the author covers the financial and corporate traumas which afflicted the company, its brief resurgence in 1995 with the release of the MGF and the final sad chapter which saw a British icon sold off to foreign investors. As production begins again at the Longbridge factory after a three-year hiatus, this is an informative and at times touching glimpse into the history of one of the world’s most recognisable sports cars.

Triple M Yearbook 2025
The ‘lead’ article this year honours the ninetieth anniversary of MG ‘s famous ladies’ team at Le Mans in 1935 – “George Eyston’s ‘Dancing Daughters”. Malcolm Green describes the background to the cars, and the lady drivers, and explains how the three P Type Midgets ended up as ‘Cream Cracker’ trials cars after Le Mans.
Keeping with the ninetieth anniversary theme, Jonathan Toulmin and Bryan Ditchman have provided an overview of the genesis and development of the ‘Cream Cracker’ and ‘Musketeer’ trials teams, including the Le Mans P Types, which began in 1935. And of course, the racing NE Magnettes took on trials duties in 1935 between their appearances at the Ards TT in 1934 and then again in 1935. These versatile cars, and their intriguing history, are described in Mike Edmondson’s article.
Long time MG Car Club member, the late Colin Butchers came from Brighton and had accumulated a substantial amount of information on the Brighton Speed Trials. Chris Harrill has undertaken the huge task of distilling all this information into a highly readable account of Triple-M participation in the event from 1932 to 1974 – a most interesting read.
The world of the famous supercharged K3 Magnettes can be somewhat confusing to outsiders, but Teifion Salisbury has set out clearly for us the current status of two much-debated cars, K3015 and K3015/2. He is able to do this with more authority than most, of course, since both of them now reside in his garage!
An article by the late Mike Allison on engine paint colours – were they painted red, green or blue – would seem to settle the matter once and for all: they were red.
On the technical front, the brakes on Triple-M cars are often dismissed, even in the MG literature, as just ‘cable brakes’ as though they were some sort of inferior operating system, but inferior to what? The editor makes the case that they were, in fact, truly innovative in their day and deserving of a much better press than they generally get – see Brake-By-Wire, Triple-M Style
Nowadays, it’s unlikely that anyone would seriously consider fitting a Ford E93A engine into a J or a P Type Midget, but sixty years ago it was a popular conversion and an article from Practical Motorist from 1961 is reproduced (with permission) showing how to do it. Food for thought? 😄
Two articles pay tribute to past members no longer with us – John Kidder and Steve Dear – both of whom contributed significantly to the development of the Triple-M Register over the best part of half a century.
The annual Register Summer Gathering, hosted by Elizabeth and Andrew Taylor, is one of the highlights of the Triple-M year and regularly attracts over fifty cars covering just about every model in the Triple-M range. This year’s report, with generous photographic coverage, shows what a great fun day it is.
And to wrap up the Yearbook, as usual we have the Competition Report which gives an overview of the racing and speed events in which Triple-M cars participated throughout the year together with summary tables for the main awards.
The Triple-M Register 2025 Yearbook offers much of interest for enthusiasts of cars of the prewar era – MGs and other marques alike – in a professionally presented publication, with a limited print edition. Now is the ideal time to add it to your bookshelf.

MG Century by David Knowles
Celebrate and explore 100 years of MG cars with this impressive volume featuring expert commentary, historical images, period ads, and contemporary photography.
For many car enthusiasts, MG is synonymous with “sports car.” It is often credited with igniting a passion for European cars in postwar America at a time when roads were otherwise filled with the lumbering output of Detroit. In MG’s native England, the company’s cars filled roles from family transport to competition driving.
MG, as we think of it today, began in the 1920s, but its roots go back even further with a young William Morris. Initially working in the booming bicycle trade, he eventually branched into motorcycle and car repair with the fledgling Morris Garage (hence, MG) in 1907. By the mid 1920s, the successful Morris Garages was in a position to begin manufacture of its own cars under the MG name.
MG grew significantly in the years before World War II, building and racing its classic Midgets and Magnettes. World War II provided challenging times for the company as it did for the UK and much of the world. In the postwar period, a focus on sales outside England, and particularly in the United States, both defined MG’s product line and ensured its success. Legendary cars followed, including MG TC, TD, and TF followed by thoroughly modern MGA, MGB, MGB GT, and Midget. Magnettes and the 1100 offered options for those wanting sedans and more practical cars.
MG ownership moved through a number of UK companies in the postwar period as well as ownership by BMW and today’s SAIC, a Chinese-based company through which it operates as MG Motor. Highlights along the way included the MGB GT V8, MG Metro Group B rally car, and MGF. Based on its latest state-of-the-art EV platform, MG will soon launch an all-new roadster coming full circle over its century in business.
Authored by marque expert David Knowles, The MG Century: 100 Years of Safety Fast! is a fitting celebration of one of the automotive world’s oldest and most beloved brands-and a must-have for every car enthusiast.

Harry Lester his cars & The Monkey Stable
Garage owner and expert tuner of MG cars, Harry Lester was one of the more successful sports car competitors in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In 1949 he designed and built his own car, with a rigid tubular chassis, lightweight aluminium body and utilising the favoured engine of many club racers of the time, the XPAG unit from the MGTC. So successful was the car in his hands that a trio of wealthy young amateur racers decided to form a team and commissioned him to build them a car each, plus a spare. They called themselves “The Monkey Stable” and enjoyed much success in their first year, 1952, a highlight being winning the team prize at the first 9 hours race at Goodwood. In subsequent years their fortunes changed, as did their cars, going to Kieft MGs in 1953,then back to Lesters in 1955. In the interim, the Monkey Stable drivers twice drove for the Bristol team at Le Mans, and one of their number, Pat Griffith, briefly became a works driver for Aston Martin, partnering Peter Collins in a number of long-distance events. It all ended in tragedy, however, when team founder Jim Mayers was killed at Dundrod in the 1955 TT race, only weeks after another team member, Mike Keen, had crashed fatally at Goodwood. Never before published in its entirety, this is the story of Harry Lester and his cars, together with the exploits of The Monkey Stable during their brief but significant racing career.
The story is told by Stewart Penfound, MG enthusiast and owner of one of the last of the Lester MGs made. Containing much previously unseen material from both Harry Lester’s and The Monkey Stable’s archives it is a story as much about the characters as the cars and is a significant addition to the record of motor racing immediately after the end of the Second World War.
