The book also describes the competing interests within the BMC group.

The MG T-Series, produced by Morris Garages (MG), stands out as a remarkable series of sports cars. While not the first in their line, these vehicles set themselves apart with their impressive radiator, sweeping fenders, and sparkling performance. The cars featured ash-wood bodies covered in steel, securely bolted to the chassis, and were equipped with leaf-spring suspension.
In this comprehensive and engaging book, the author delves into the development of various MG T-Series models, encompassing the prewar Midgets and the MG TC, TD, and TF. The book explores the technical advancements, such as the introduction of synchromesh gearing and hydraulic brakes, as well as the introduction of new engines.
Due to the post-war popularity of the cars in the United States after American GIs brought examples back from Britain, modifications were made for US editions. Celebrities like Clark Gable were seen driving these iconic vehicles.
Furthermore, the author sheds light on the competing interests within the BMC group, as other sports cars like the Triumph TR2 and Austin Healey 100 were also developed. Despite the competition, the MG T-Series remained a class apart, showcasing its unique qualities and enduring legacy.
This book serves as a valuable resource for enthusiasts and historians alike, providing a deep understanding of the MG T-Series and its place in automotive history. It is a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation that went into creating these remarkable cars and their lasting impact on the automotive world.
