Beginning with a brief historical overview, this large-format, completely illustrated book recounts the tradition of Great Britain's renowned MG company. Included are models from 1923 to the MGB GT--their most popular car ever--and on through the Metro, Montego, and Maestro saloons, and the RV8 and MGF, which take the saga to the present day. Sidebars cover subjects as varied as the Le Mans TC, the XPAG engine, and the Metro 6R4 rally car. Also included are personal impressions from top British automotive experts, hints for the potential buyer, and specification tables.
