On This Day

95 years ago.

Cecil Kimber registered his first modified Morris, the prototype of the MG. Kimber's car is now known as "Old Number One", though design differences lead some to maintain that "Old Number One" was a different species from the MG. Known for their zippy overhead cam engine's, MG's were hugely popular sports cars in both the UK and US.

13 years ago

The first Chinese-built MG sports cars rolled off the production line in the eastern city of Nanjing. State-owned Nanjing Automobile had bought the assets of collapsed UK firm MG Rover in 2005. The MG7 saloon and the MG-TF sports car, priced at between 180,000 and 400,000 yuan ($23,300 - $51,700; £11,800 - £26,300), were launched to the sound of music from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra against a video wall showing shots of Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace.

On this day in 1977 my son was born, I've told him he is older than me now..... but sadly, the only reference he makes to that day is the Tenerife plane crash.
