In this installment of Motorbooks Complete Book series, author Ross Alkureishi offers a chronological model-by-model marque history. Narratives discuss design, production, and technology, while specification tables highlight key technical and performance data. Hundreds of photos illustrate the vehicles and even include detail shots of engine bays and interiors. Originally formed as a side business, MG became one of the worlds most recognized car brands. From prewar saloons to fast and affordable two-seat sports cars in the pre- and postwar periods, MG has exuded fun, thanks to models like the Midgets and Magnettes, the traditionally styled T-Types, and the vehicles that would become the marque’s most recognizable: the MGA, MGB, and MGC. MG would undergo several ownership changes throughout the years, and Alkureishi expertly shows how different ownership groups affected MG cars, good or bad. Along the way, the company competed on racetracks around the world, and Alkureishi describes the most successful of these exploits in complementary sidebars.The Complete Book of Classic MG Cars is the essential guide to this important chapter in the history of motoring. Having established a good base for selling cars the MG Company changed the styling for the TD into a much more comfortable and modern vehicle. Again the sales exploded and in three years built nearly three times the number of TC the previous year. The extra boost give by the Mk II kept it going until the TF arrived. This had an even more drastic styling change and not only was it not appreciated, despite a larger engine being fitted, it did not keep up with the current vogue for all enveloping bodies. This only lasted two years until the radically different MGA appeared in 1955. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, trials, racing record breaking, service data, technical & performance data. Models covered include:- TD, MkII, TD Record Breaker, Lester-MG, Cooper-MG, TF1250, TF1500, EX179.
