This book is a pictorial study of the workers who built the
legendary line of MG sports cars. With over 160 period photos
depicting factory life, car building, and the war effort, this is a
fascinating story. The demand for these fiery little cars exploded,
eventually pushing to a massive facility outside of Abingdon. The
factory included everything needed to build the vehicles, as well
as soccer and cricket fields, a pool hall, and a hockey rink. The
facility even had its own volunteer fire department, it was so well
developed. MG Abingdon's famous racing reputation gained in the
1930s made it the obvious place to site BMC's Competition
department with its maiden venture the 1955 Le Mans 24 hour race.
The many original pictures in this book chronicle every aspect of
the factory, from its opening amidst great euphoria in 1930 to its
closing amidst great recriminations in 1980.
