Didn't know that.

and the very first MGs were simply
modified Morris.

Like the MG Metro or before that (Magnet)?

Long before that. The first MG was based on a Morris Cowley chassis in the
1920s.

Blige!

So, Morris had MG [Morris Garages]{should it now be MGM for 'MG Motor'

Großaspach], BMW had(have) M [Motorsport] ... any others?
