MG was responsible for a series of experimental cars that achieved world speed records driven by Captain George Eyston. Eyston’s racing career began with European road races, particularly in Bugatti’s, with success in races such as the 1921 and 1926 French Grand Prix. Later he became well known for racing supercharged MGs such as the Magic Midget and the K3 Magnette. His entries with the K3 included the 1933 Isle of Man and 1934 Northern Ireland Tourist Trophy events as well as the 1934 Mille Miglia.
