About This Item
-Souvenir Press (1993)-. First edition first impression 1993. 176 pages. Illustrated in black and white. Cloth. Near fine in dustjacket. Seventy years after it was launched by its creator, Cecil Kimber, the MG has become a legend. The most familiar, best loved, most cherished and collectable of all cars, it is sought after, lovingly restored and entered in rallies, races and hill-climbs throughout the world. Its fans are legion and growing year by year. This exciting celebration of the MG's glorious history is in itself a treasure trove for all the car's devotees. It present an insider's view of the making of the MG Legend, with contributions from men and women who have been associated with the car and its creator since the early days and who have provided much previously unrecorded information, together with a wealth of historic photographs, many published here for the first time. Jean Cook, Cecil Kimber's daughter, has advised at every stage of the book's preparation and has written her own personal and unique account of how the MG was born, lending many photographs from her personal album to illustrate her memories of her father. The special interest of her contribution is matched by those of Cyril Mellor, Barry Foster, Anna Guerrier, David Saunders, Geoff Shirt and Mike Allison, each of whom had deep knowledge of particular aspects of the MG company and the different marques. A little-known essay by Cecil Kimber himself appears here in book form for the first time. The book contains a complete listing of all MG models, including the new MG RV8, and a biography of specialist titles for devotees. About 100 photographs illustrate the different marques, the personalities and the historic moments in the history of a car for that was designed as an inexpensive sports car for the general public and has become an international celebrity whose immortality is assured.
