The first M.G.s were Morris motorcars modified by Cecil Kimber at Morris Garages in Oxford, unfortunately none of these early motorcars, often referred to as Raworth Chummies, are known to exist. The first known use of the stylised octagonal M.G. badge was in The Oxford Times, March 2nd 1923. About 900 flat rad 14/28 and 14/40 were made between late 1926 and late 1929. Both the 14/28 and the 14/40 had a 1802cc four cylinder side valve engine with a single horizontal Solex carburettor, a wet cork clutch and three speed manual crash gearbox, 1/2 elliptic springs front and rear, bolt on wire wheels and 12” drum brakes.
Originally registered on 4th December 1929, this charming 14/4
