Cool Wall - MG Tigress
The MG Tigress, MG's first production race car, the Mark III 18/100, or Tigress model, was introduced in 1930. It was a six-cylinder car with a 2.5-litre overhead camshaft engine. This engine was well-developed engine having a new camshaft, dry-sump lubrication, twin spark heads and many other improvements.
Unfortunately, in MG history, the Tigress has been largely overshadowed by the more reliable, smaller and cheaper MG M-Type Midget. Both cars completed at the 1930 Brooklands Double Twelve race which was, where the Tigress made its debut appearance. In the end, the Midgets completed the race for the team victory while the larger, more dramatic Tigress models retired with engine failure. Due to the results at Brooklands and its expensive price, only five Tigress models were completed.....
... but what do you think?
