This book presents “an insider’s view of the making of the MG Legend, with contributions from men and women who have been associated with the car and its creator since the early days and who have provided much previously unrecorded information, together with a wealth of historic photographs, many published here for the first time. Jean Cook, Cecil Kimber’s daughter, has advised at every stage of the book’s preparation and has written her own personal and unique account of how the MG was born, lending many photographs from her personal album to illustrate her memories of her father.”

It was in the 1930s that the adjective ‘magic’ was first applied to the MG cars, and in particular to their record-breaking activities. Over the years a little of the magic of the marque has reached thousands of owners. What is the magic? Life-long MG enthusiast, restorer and writer, Mike Allison tells the story of the cars, and assesses the reasons for their huge impact on the motoring scene.
