Second Impression

This, the first comprehensive history of the M.G., is the product of twelve years' research and ten years' service with the company that manufactures the world's most popular sports car. The author's story is presented with an authenticity and wealth of detail derived from intimate knowledge of his subject.

We read of the life of M.G.'s founder, Cecil Kimber; the emergence of the M.G. car; the great days of racing and record-breaking; M.G. experiment and development; Abingdon's struggle to retain individuality through successive management changes. It is a story with much irreverent, often outspoken, comment that includes hitherto unpublished reminiscences of prominent M.G. personalities.

Copious photographs supplement the account and appendices provide fascinating technical data, production figures and M.G. successes in competitions and record-breaking.
