The MG T-Series: The Sports Cars the World Loved First

This book follows the development of the various MG T Series models, including the pre-war Midgets and the MG TC, TD, and TF. It covers the technical developments such as the introduction of syncromesh gearing and hydraulic brakes as well as new engines. Due to the post-war popularity of the cars in the U.S. after American GIs shipped cars back from England, modifications were made for U.S. editions. Soon celebrities such as Clark Gable were driving them. The author also describes the competing interests within the BMC group as other sports cars such as the Triumph TR2 and Austin Healey 100 were also developed. As this book shows, however, whatever the competition, the MG T Series were always a class apart.
