As my motto seems to have become "Google is your friend", I immediately
went on the hunt and one of the first links I found was a personal
website that says:
"Interestingly, before "Safety Fast" was selected as the permanent MG
motto, the MG Car Company, Ltd. also used the motto: "Cheap and
Cheerful"! I think it's really rather fortunate that "Safety Fast"
became the motto associated with the marque!"

Without spending the rest of my night on this, unfortunately this was
the only result I found in your favour. You may want to drop a line to
the owner of that site and ask him what his reference was.
