Vital to the Life of the Nation

Not only is this book the definitive work because Wilson McComb was on the inside at MG for a decade, it is doubly so because the author knew exactly how a complex story such as this should be researched and told.  Osprey are proud to have employed the talents of a comparable expert.. From Cecil Kimber and the Bullnose MGs of the 1920s, to the thirties Midgets, the Magnettes, the TCs, the MGA, MGB, even the Metro and Maestro, every twist in the tale was followed by Wilson McComb, with an intimate knowledge not only of machinery but also of men, those who created the marque, some who abused it. There are not many more interesting automotive stories than that of the Octagon to be told, and MG will be one of the few British marques to make it into the 21st century.

This bookazine is aimed at owners and enthusiasts of MGs. MG remains one of the UK’s most highly regarded marques, with membership of Clubs in excess of 50,000 people. And as 2009 is the 85th anniversary of MG, this bookazine covers the complete history of MG, from Old Number One to the launch of the brand-new TF in 2009.
