Essential MG tells the full story of this well loved sports car from its early days, covering developments in style, increases in power and its history in racing and speed trials. The first MG cars were produced in Oxford, England, in 1924. The car was instantly appealing with a cheekiness of spirit that was to characterize the marque all its life, winning hearts of millions around the globe, not least in the United States. The price was as attractive as the styling and the performance. It was cheap and it was fun - quintessential MG traits.

This review is from: The Essential MG (Essential (Motorbooks International)) (Hardcover)
This was purchased as a birthday gift for an MG owner. He appeared to be happy with the book. I felt that it was a good history of the MG and covered a long history well, with relatively few pages.
