Visit From Cecil Kimber’s Grandson

THE MG CAR CLUB was honoured today to receive a visit from Cecil Kimber’s grandson, Kim McGavin.

McGavin visited the Club’s headquarters in Abingdon to present the Car Club with a collection of MG documents and memerobilia, including a signed photo of Lord Nuffield, which had belonged to his mother, Jean Kimber-Cook.

After a tour of Kimber House, which is home to a number of Kimber’s personal belongings such as his briefcase, pipes and tobacco boxes, McGavin visited Abingdon’s County Hall Museum.

The MG Car Club’s archivist Peter Neal has begun sorting through the collection and we will publish details in the March issue of Safety Fast!

We would like to thank Kim for taking the time to visit the MG Car Club and for his kind donation to our archive.
