The book provides a comprehensive guide to MG collectibles, covering a range of topics including toys and transportation.
Stretching back to the late 1920s, collectibles are probably more diverse and numerous for MG than for any other marque. Highlights include illustrations of the first sale brochure (literally a photo album with typed captions), studies of MG’s 1930s output of sumptuous catalogues and humorous advertising, sculpture and paintings by Gordon Crosby. “Magic Midget” silver cigarette lighters, models ranging from Gerald Wingrove’s meticulous J2 to cheap “breakfast cereal” giveaways, and MG-badged bottles of beer. Coverage comes right up to date with MGF material.
