The original "Grand Prix" was I believe centered around St Gaudens about 60 miles southwest of Toulouse. Were any MG's involved it these road races which took place between 1925 and 1952 ?

In a word - no! Except for the early years up to 1930, when there were subsidiary 1500cc and 1100cc races, it was essentially always a Formula race, usually attracting a pretty good entry of privateers and the occasional works car. The last two pre-war runnings in 1936 and 1939 were for sports cars, but under the ACF's formula, which excluded blown cars: an NE would theoretically have been eligible, but very few small sports cars ran in these races, which were dominated by big Bugattis, Talbots and Delahayes.

For results up to 1929 (copied from the Sheldon Black Books), see Darren Galpin's website:

For 1930-35, with extra detail and research by Hans Etzrodt and Leif Snellman:

For 1936 and 1939 see Martin Krejci's website (click on the appropriate year):

The post-war races were all run to either F1 or F2 and can most easily be found here in the relevant years' pre-championship and non-championship listings:

Finally, there's a pretty basic history (in French) here:
