A Journey Through MG’s Glorious Past
The Duke of Richmond took the wheel of his grandfather's iconic MG C-Type, a car that raced in the 1931 Brooklands Double 12. This historic vehicle was joined by other MG legends, including the MGA Le Mans, MGC GTS Sebring, and MG 6R4, creating a breathtaking display of MG's illustrious racing history.
