There was apparently a photograph of J2024/JB 659 - see https://www.triple-mregister.org/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7086&whichpage=4 - in Safety Fast in or around 1933/1934. Does anyone have copies of the magazine from that period and be willing to have a look through them and see if the photo can be found?

Simon. I have been waiting for at least a dozen people to point out that Safety Fast (as a magazine) did not exist in 1933/4. The MGCC house magazine which started publication at that time was "The M.G. Magazine" which ran for a couple of years and was then re-constituted as "The Sports Car" and as such ran up until the war years. Confusingly, a magazine with the same name was started in the U.S. (edited I believe by John Dugdale) in or around 1946 but I don't know how long that survived.

Helpfully, the M.G.Magazine has been added to the Triple M Register website and can be read or downloaded. Have a nice time reading it.

Best wishes, Colin.

Thanks, Colin. In truth, I had thought the same but I had a recollection, I thought, of Chris Harrill (Westbury) referring to a 1930s Safety Fast magazine but I must be mistaken. I’ll check the MaGazine issues that are on the website.

Hello, Simon.
It wasn’t me!
I agree with Colin and the in house magazine prewar was firstly The MG MaGazine ( 1933 and 1934 12 bimonthly magazines, I think,) followed by The Sports Car magazine up to and including 1939.
Both excellent publications and now going for high prices.
