A friend recently visiting from NSW had been lent a scrapbook from the 1930's made by the father of a fellow motoring motoring enthusiast.

What a delight that newspaper cuttings from era survives to this day.
Below are some images from the great race in which the MG 746cc MONTLHERY MIDGETS were triumphant.

Winning against the cream of British and European machines - Bentley, Frazer Nash, Aston Martin, Riley, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Amilcar and Maserati.
