Beskrivning
The MGA truly marked a revolution in MG sports car design, with its appearance quite unlike any previous production car from the celebrated British marque. Entering production in the summer of 1955, it broke with the time-honoured tradition of narrow-gutted, flat-sides, upright styling, with the distinctive large grille, exposed headlamps, separate wings and sharply cut-off tail that had serviced the majority of MG sports cars for well over thirty years. Many die-hard MG enthusiasts of the time were understandably outraged, but the decision to break with tradition proved to be a good one: over 100,000 cars were produced over the model's seven-year lifetime. This book, from celebrated author David Knowles covers: the circumstances that led to the momentous decision to amek such a fundamental design change; the production, publicity and evolution of each and every MGA variant from launch in 1955 to the end of production in 1962, with specification tables for each model; profiles of the people who had crucial roles in the development of the MGA and finally, the largely untold story of overseas assembly in Australia, Ireland, Mexico and South Africa.

Mer om författaren

David Knowles has been researching and writing about British motoring history for more than 30 years. Best known for his work on Triumph and MG, he has built a reputation for meticulous original research, uncovering lost and unseen material, and interviewing many of the people who helped shape the industry. His books consistently bring fresh material into the public domain, making them essential reference works for enthusiasts and historians alike. This, his latest book for Crowood, taps into previously hidden resources and the first-hand memories of people who were involved in a business that began just after World War II manufacturing Standard and Triumph cars and lasted until the end of the Triumph story under Rover Group in the 1980s

Recensioner i media

The 15 year gap since the last published MGA tome is well-bridged with Mr. Knowles' usual tendency to dig deeper and fill in more detail than we have ever seen on the history of the development, manufacturing and marketing of this revolutionary member of the MG stable.
