Almost as bad as whenWilliam Morris fluffed off the MG by rather than
giving them a full pedigree when he formed Morris Motors Ltd....He keep Morris
Garages, Ltd. as a separate (Bastard step child like) entity
Enter Cecil Kimber whose genius and visionary sense of what would catch on
and sell big. Within a few years,1922 he had designed a Morris Special.
named appropriately ..."Old Number One" (FC7900)
But it wasn't until 1923 when he'd became so tired of playing second
fiddle to William Morris's Morris Motors that Cecil Kimber introduced a car
that
he dropped the Morris name and adopted the sportier name MG for Morris
Garages and the rest like they say is History.
Colin Chapman was a genius at getting the most out of a smallish engine and
made up for it by creating a suspension that would make anyone who drove
the Lotus feel like Jackie Stewart who I believe won a few races and
Championships in a Lotus.
There does that save me from being burned at the stake?
