Racing Competition and speed is laced in the very genes of MG, this was once again reiterated in 2012 when the MG6 GT was campaigned by the famous racer Jason Plato.

The EX135, built specifically for the purpose of racing was driven by Goldie Gardener and later proceeded to secure twelve records. Then in 1957 and 1959, Sterling Moss and Phil Hill were respectively chosen to drive the \u2018Roaring Raindrop\u2019 – EX181. This car achieved a total of 6 new records.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The first MG record breaker, was the EX120. Ironically, it was a prototype racing car to follow on from the successful M-types which at that time in Brooklands performed tremendously. A few false starts and some adjustments like the fitments of a Powerplus Supercharger, made breaking through the 100mph barrier at Montlhery on 16th February, 1931 possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
