A line up of prestige classic vintage MG automobiles made their way to Port Douglas on Wednesday.

The company’s name, according to Wikipedia, was introduced by the business manager of Morris Garages by taking the initials of the business MG back in the 1920s.

Debate remains when the MG Car Company started although the first cars bore both Morris and MG badges.  The MG Octagon was registered as a trademark by Morris Garages in 1924 celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2014.

These pristinely restored vehicles were passing through Port Douglas as part of a rally for pre 1964 classic automobiles.
