As Britain`s most popular sporting marque, MG has emerged as one of a handful of British motoring names to survive into the 21st century. From the quintessential open two-seater MG Midget, through the booming post-war years & the emergence of MG as a provider of sports cars for the world, Jonathan Wood provides an in-depth analysis of the rise & fall of a motoring legend. Examining the various models in detail, the author covers the financial & corporate traumas which afflicted the company, its brief resurgence in 1995 with the release of the MGF & the final sad chapter which saw a British icon sold off to foreign investors. As production begins again at the Longbridge factory after a three-year hiatus, this is an informative & at times touching glimpse into the history of one of the world`s most recognisable sports cars.
