The MGA
écrit par John Price Williams - texte en anglais, 160 pages, 160 illustrations, 250 x 207 mmThe MGA was the first British sports car to sell more than 100. 000 units - and more than 80 per cent of production went to North America. The sleek, streamlined MGA - the first production MG capable of topping 100mph - was a big departure from the upright sportscars which the factory had produced since the 'thirties and was a huge international success. This book is the definitive study. The author has gone back to factory records and to the people who worked on the MGA in the 'fifties, to find out how it was conceived, manufactured and marketed. Here is the real and fascinating story of the MGA's engineering, body styling and every aspect of the car's development and production - including MG's strategy to beat its competitorsRef. no.: 472593Cet article est en cours de traitement.

MGA & Twin Cam 1955 - 1962
série Gold Portfolio, texte anglais, 180 pages, 20 x 27 cmAnnounced in 1955 to replace the TF the MGA was a radical change to the older cars. It had a streamlined and curvaceous full-width body. This was a car in need of extra performance and in 1958 the Twin-Cam came with a twin-overhead-camshaft, 1588cc version of the B-series engine. It also had four-wheel disc brakes and centre-lock disc wheels. Unfortunately the engine was a little unreliable and production only covered an 18-month period. Like many other short run vehicles the Twin-Cam has attained cult status and is the model to get. The cars to benefit from this development were the 1600 and Mk II with larger engines and good performance. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, specification and technical data, drivers reports, racing, record breaking, touring, buying second hand and historyRef. no.: 7679Livre: 27,61 € TVA inclue

MG's Abingdon Factory
Those were the Days, de Brian Moylan, 98 pages, 200 Illustrations, 205 x 185 mm, paperback, avec texte en anglaisThe MG, from being a Morris car modified in the corner of a backstreet workshop, evolved into a sports car in its own right. The demand for this fiery little car caused the production to move to four different and progressively larger sites in and around Oxford, finally moving out of the city ten miles away to Abingdon and a factory that might have been custom built for it. This factory was on the site of a tannery that had inflated to over twice its size catering for the 1914-18 wartime demand for its leather products. The coming of peace caused it to deflate back to its previous level of production, leaving empty the rows of large hangars that had housed the wartime production effort. It was to this factory that Cecil Kimber, who had resigned his position as Managing Director of Morris Garages, brought his brain-child that he called the MGRef. no.: 489414Livre: 20,46 € TVA inclue
