Description
The second edition of this highly respected history brings the evocative story of MG right up to date, including the receivership of MG Rover in April 2005. This large-format, well-illustrated book charts all MGs from 1923 to the present-day TF sports car and 'hot' saloons, concentrating along the way on models with particularly strong interest to classic car enthusiasts, such as the T-types, the MGA and the MGB - the most popular British sports car ever. The authoritative text is supported with buying tips, personal impressions of individual models, and data boxes.
