The MG EX 135 is a record-breaking
For the 100th anniversary of the MG brand, Rétromobile has teamed up with the British Motor Museum and MG Club de France to organise an exceptional exhibition tracing back the history of the brand. And to mark the occasion, no fewer than a dozen of the make’s iconic vehicles, including the 1938 MG EX135, straight from Beaulieu.
The EX 135 is a streamlined Land Speed Record car developed by MG in 1938. The vehicle was fitted with a variety of engines from 2 cyl 500cc to 1500cc. In 1951, the vehicle broke six international and 10 American records in the 1,100cc to 1,500cc engine class, with A.T. Goldie Gardner behind the wheel. In 1952, he returned to Bonneville with the MG EX 135 car and set 21 speed records in the same engine class as the previous year.
