[edit] Origin of the M.G. name

I see a new paragraph has appeared describing the origins of the M.G. name. The trouble is I can't understand it. It seems to say that the initials don't stand for Morris Garages but rather for the initials for Morris Garages which seems a very narrow distinction. One thing is certain, on all the early advertisements and letter headings it was never MG but always M.G..

Also, can anyone give a source to the story that Cecil Kimber said M.G. didn't stand for anything. Without a source this rather contentious statement should not be there. Malcolma 20:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] University of Oklahoma?

There has been some news in Oklahoma of MG opening a plant in Ardmore, but the University of Oklahoma certainly would not keep quiet about their involvement if it were already made public by MG.

[edit] Record breaking and racing

I think we need to say something more about MG's successes in these in the 1930s - in racing and trialling, it was not just the works team - the three musketeers, cream crackers etc. -- Beardo 13:08, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
