Description:
The first MGs were a small number of cars sold with special bodywork by Morris Garages, but by the 1930s the MG had come to be recognised as the archetypical sporting car. The rapid development of the marque, and the cars' domination in their class of competition entry lists, is down to the energy, enthusiasm and skills of a small number of key personalities. Here, as well as in-depth studies of all models produced, there are biographies of those most involved with MG development, record breaking and motor sport. The MG Story sets out to recount, in the form of a series of articles, the story of the marque from 1923 until the Abingdon factory closed in 1980. At that time this small market town housed what was probably the world's largest producer of sports cars. Many of the competition efforts by both factory-supported entries and private owners are covered in detail and help show why MGs became so well known.

Description:
First edition dated 1935 hardback with cc dust jacket now in protective cover. Shelf wear to spine edges, the pages themselves are nice and clean. A very hard to find edition.The book covers Heygate's European travels during the early 1930s in what was, almost certainly, a 1932 F-type 'Magna' model. The photographs aren't too clear, but they show valenced front mudguards and a rear-mounted spare wheel. Heygate mentions a six-cylinder, 1270cc, twin-carburettor engine, and its "long and low" open bodywork. Yet he also said it was a small car, "built down from a model that had won fame on the race track". His example was apparently capable of about 70-75 mph flat out. The Magna was MG's answer to the contemporary craze for small sixes. It used the Wolseley Hornet overhead-cam motor."
