Almost as bad as whenWilliam Morris fluffed off the MG by  rather than 
giving them a full pedigree when he formed Morris Motors  Ltd....He keep Morris 
Garages, Ltd. as a separate (Bastard step child  like) entity 
Enter Cecil Kimber whose genius and visionary sense of what would catch on  
and sell big. Within a few years,1922 he had designed a Morris Special. 
named  appropriately ..."Old Number One" (FC7900) 
But it wasn't until 1923 when he'd became so tired of playing  second 
fiddle to William Morris's Morris Motors that Cecil Kimber introduced a  car that 
he dropped the Morris name and adopted the sportier name MG for Morris  
Garages and the rest like they say is History.
Colin Chapman was a genius at getting the most out of a smallish engine and 
 made up for it by creating a suspension that would make anyone who drove 
the  Lotus feel like Jackie Stewart who I believe won a few races and 
Championships  in a Lotus.
There does that save me from being burned at the stake?
