Reprinted Advertisements

Over the years of production, the MG Car Company had a variety of different advertisements.  These were run in the popular motoring press of the day and many of them are extremely good.  If you have a different advert style that is not featured here and would like to add it to the gallery, please scan it and send it to the webmaster remembering to state, if possible, the publication, and date.

    The adverts are mostly A4 in size when opened in full.  You may wish to open them and then save them to load into a graphics package to view off line.
