Product Description

This volume focuses on the very wide range of prototypes, experimental cars and other behind-the-scenes projects launched under the MG banner from the immediate post-war years to the present. It reveals the birthpangs of the MGB, the MG TR7 proposal, the MG "EX-E" concept car of 1985, and the various sports car projects which led ultimately to the limited edition MG RV8 (1992) and beyond. David Knowles is the author of "MG V8: Twenty-One Years On".

Customer Reviews

Excellent view of some of the lesser know aspects of the MG
A large interesting book filled with great insights into never seen projects.  Alot of excellent pictures. And, for those of us who love MG Sports Sedans, documentation of the fact that the MG 1100 was originally to be named the MGC. A must for lovers of MGs of any era.

Superb
You can click on the picture to get a look at the table of contents and some of the pages of this book.

So I'll keep this short.

This book is loaded with information. It isn't just "car porn" photography.

This is a large-format (but not "coffee table") book from MBI: green cloth over hardback boards with a sewn binding and a dustjacket.

256 pp with probably 275-300 illustrations: mostly photos of cars with some technical drawings, pictures of MG bigwigs and visionaries, advertising materials, and some sketches. 5 Appendices.
