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 G Is shipped examples back from Britain modifications were made for US editions. Soon celebrities such as Clark Gable were driving them.
