The MGB Story by Don Hayter
This is the inside story of the MG Design office, from 1956 until its closure in 1980. Explaining how the various models were drawn, planned, and developed by the small team of engineers, it also shows how the input and control changed from Morris, Wolseley, Riley Group, Austin-Morris, and Austin Rover. The effects of the Triumph-Austin merger are detailed in model changes, alongside the effects of safety legislation, mainly imposed by the United States. Trying to remain as individual as possible during this period, MG developed record breakers and a unique Competition Department. Special cars were built and tested, and prototypes for the MGB replacement were drawn up all in parallel with the development of MG production cars using engines from any part of the company.

MG 6r4 Socks
The MG6R4 was launched in 1984 making its press debut at London’s Excelsior Hotel in London. 6R4 stood for, 6 cylinder, Rally, 4-wheel drive and its 400bhp, V64V engine enabled the car to hit 60mph in just 3.2secs and 100mph in 8.2secs.
Its 3litre V6 engine was designed by David Wood an ex Cosworth employee. 200 cars were to be built for homologation purposes. Most of these cars were built to a Clubman Spec which had a 250bhp engine, with a single throttle injection system rather than the 400bhp engine with a multiple injection system used on the International spec cars.
It was entered in Group B of the World Rally Championships. But due to some fatal accidents Group B was cancelled at the end of 1986. The 6R4’s best WRC result would be the third place in the 1985 Lombard RAC Rally driven by Patrick Pond. It had other success including winning Gwynedd Rally in October 1985 and many club successes.
Austin Rover pulled out of motorsport in 1987 and sold off its stock of 6R4’s by reducing the price from the original £45,000 to just £16,000. They also sold the design of the V6 engine to TWR which after development appeared in Jaguars Group C racers.
The 6R4 continued to compete in private hands wherever it was accepted, usually in 250bhp ‘Clubman’ spec, but the full potential of the 400bhp ‘International’ version will never be known.

T Register Practical MG TD Maintenance, Update and Innovation
The T Register is all too aware that there are those with T Types who are not experienced at working on them. This book is written by Jonathan Goddard, an enthusiast who has rebuilt his TD from the proverbial box of bits, making improvements and non-intrusive changes for better safety, reliability and enjoyment as he did so to make the car more useable in modern conditions. As such it provides a useful insight into what is involved in working on a T Type and, in particular, a TD from the perspective of an enthusiastic amateur.

RV8 The Manufacturing Story
The authors have produced a detailed, factual description of the RV8 manufacturing process together with an outline of the staff involved. The content is based on material in the Club’s archives, interviews with the management and production staff involved with the RV8 production and ensures that this fascinating detail of RV8 history is not lost to posterity.
The book begins with an interesting outline of the formation of the 16 strong production team involved in RV8 manufacture and their duties. It then covers the manufacturing process from body shell build, painting, to vehicle assembly. Further chapters also describe the assembly facility layout, build documentation produced and vehicle production dates. A later chapter on anecdotes told to the authors by the various production team members adds further human interest to the story. Also included is a timeline of RV8 production, five detailed appendices (eg monthly production stats and colour totals by market) and a glossary of terms. The book contains many quality photos of the production process and staff which have never been published before.
The book is not intended to be the equivalent of a Haynes maintenance manual. It provides the reader with a detailed description of the RV8 manufacturing process and its human side and consequently will become a valuable future record.
For an MG focused book it is probably unique in its approach to the subject and is an interesting read in terms of content and style. It is an A4 sized book with a quality feel to it, although it is not a hardback. There is a contents page but no separate index although it is debatable whether one is necessary considering the nature of the book. -

MG Z Cars
The MG Z cars were produced at a pivotal time when the MG Rover Group separated from their previous owners BMW and stood alone in the highly competitive mass car market. In this readable book, motoring journalist and Austin Rover expert Craig Cheetham reveals the inside story of the development of the range of MG Z cars that were designed to save the company.
The book explores the formation of the Phoenix Corporation, the holding company for the MG Rover Group. It also looks at the design and engineering initiatives that would make the MG Z cars more than just a clever rebranding exercise, producing cars with lasting appeal.
The book describes the MG Z versions of the Rover 25, the Rover 45 and the Rover 75, providing insights into how each of the models was re-engineered to meet the demanding standards of MG’s heritage. It also describes the fortunes of the Z cars in motorsport, in particular the British Touring Car Championship.
The book reveals how, despite all these efforts, MG Rover eventually ran out of money, bringing an end the British-owned mass car industry.
