An initial sighting of the Midge was found in an advertisement of the May 1934 issue of “The MaGazine”.  The ad confirms that the Midge was produced by H.J. Randall, Birmingham, England and was designed especially for MG car owners.

According to historian Mike Worthington-Williams, “The MG Midge was only found on the 1935 ‘P’ type MGs.  However, despite its intended use for only the ‘P” type, it did appear in factory literature and was primarily sold as an accessory by University Motors Ltd, London acting as an MG agent.” 

Late, in the July 1936 issue of “The Sports Car”, the previously referenced ad was repeated but instead now included the MG logo and words: “Obtainable from All MG Agents”.  So this affirms that a privately offered Mascot had been sanctioned and adopted by MG.
