Overview

"This new book is the definitive study of the MGA, for the author has gone back to factory records and to the people who worked on the car in the 'fifties, to find out how it was conceived, manufactured and marketed. Here is the real story of the MGA's engineering, body styling and every aspect of the car's development and production - including MG's strategy to beat its competitors. In seven years of production, there were major successes and sad disappointments. The MGA was the car that was ""right first time"" and though the Twin Cam variant was a nightmare for the factory, it is now the most sought after model. This book tells how the sleepy Thames-side village of Abingdon became a mass-production centre for the MGA, how the MGA became one of America's best-loved sports cars and how the MGA has become one of today's classic cars, cherished by enthusiastic owners all over the world."

A BEAUTIFUL car with a great history, the MGA is covered well in this book, from its original conception to eventual axing in 1962. It earns some extra points for including a section on buying and restoring your own model, too - valuable info for anyone who might consider one of theses classic sports cars Auto Express Engaging ... really brings the potential of the Abingdon firm to life ... A fantastic title, and one that inspires a new respect for this MG. Classic Car Weekly
