Although not the first sports cars produced by Morris Garages (MG),
the MG T-Series set themselves apart, with an impressive radiator
flanked by sweeping fenders and sparkling performance. The cars
featured an ash-wood body covered in steel, bolted to the chassis
and had leaf-spring suspension. In this readable and informative
book, the author follows the development of the various MG T-Series
models, including the prewar Midgets and the MG TC, TD and TF. The
book covers the technical developments such as the introduction of
synchromesh gearing and hydraulic brakes as well as new engines.
Due to the post-war popularity of the cars in the United States
after American GIs shipped examples back from Britain,
modifications were made for US 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.
