Overview

In the shadowed workshops of postwar Oxford and the roaring trials of Brooklands, a revolution was quietly forged in metal, grease, and grit. The MG Mongoose tells the story of how a self-made engineer named Cecil Kimber turned a sideline sales outfit into MG-a brand that would come to define the very soul of the British sports car. This fact-based narrative follows the marque's journey from hand-built specials to world-class roadsters, revealing how MG captured the imagination of drivers across generations. Through boom and bust, from the MGA's sleek postwar curves to the electric future embodied in the Cyberster, MG's story is one of resilience, ingenuity, and a stubborn belief that driving should stir the heart. With detailed accounts of record runs, racing glory, industrial shifts, and grassroots fandom, this is the definitive chronicle of a brand that never forgot its roots-even as the world around it changed. Whether you're a lifelong MG enthusiast or new to the legend, this book offers a vivid portrait of the men, machines, and moments that turned a humble garage into a global symbol of motoring joy.
