They were specialized in manufacturing on request special bodies for Morris cars, especially for the Oxfords and Cowleys. In 1922 Cecil Kimber became general manager of Morris Garages and greatly contributed to the foundation of MG (i.e. Morris Garages) as an independent company, even though in dose cooperation with Moms. The production of the very first MG car can be traced back in 1925.

Still inspired by the 1930s sports style with very long wings, small doors and big highlights, the car has a handmade wooden dashboard and other details typical of that period.
