Judging from the number of views not all have discovered that many vintage newsreels on MG have been posted on YouTube.

Search for Pathe MG. Here are examples:

Morning All,

I'm most interested to know the history or significance of the swastica displayed on the Pathe border in the clip where Eyston runs EX120.
I'm sure it's a simple historical issue. Just curious.
Regards

I believe it was a common decoration in American Indian art and weavings as well as in tribal oriental rugs way before the Nazi party adopted it. I doubt that it was nothing more than a decoration in 1932.

Car number 19B has registration number MG 2603. Is it possible to identify it from this? Cheers John

John also found and pointed me at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yOnD3dcXjw

which shows Shelsley Walsh 1933, with Miss Watson identified in the narrative, driving J3 3772; No5 at 20 secs in. Stop frame gives many clear details (except the windscreen wiper position, since this has ben removed!) including rear view mirror, passenger operated spotlight and twin horns. I think, but can't be certain that the seating is bucket seats.

Does anyone know the date and where she finished?

MG 2603 is L2056, register No 180, which is one of the three MG L2s which also ran in the 1933 Alpine rally driven by Tommy Wisdom along with L2068 and L2072.
Cheers,

I wonder of the owner has seen the footage of his car at Brooklands.

There is another J3 in the Shelsley Walsh footage at 1:18. Can anyone identify it?
