Number 30: A Racing Legacy and a Pandemic's Grim Reminder From the roaring twenties to the challenging thirties, the number 30 held a significant place in the world of MG racing. At the MAC Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb in Worcestershire, 1923, Austin Twenty's open tourer bore the number. In Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the RAC TT Race in 1932, three MG C type Midgets, driven by Hugh Hamilton, Frank Stanley Barnes, and others, proudly displayed the number, with two depicted in Bill Brunell's artwork. However, the number 30 holds a stark contrast in history, and is also associated with the US Army during the 1918 influenza pandemic. In this grim reminder, C017/9449 is a poignant representation of the countless lives affected by the deadly virus. Number 30 - a racing number, a historical reference, and a grim reminder of a time long past.
