hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

First edition first impression 1993. 176 pages. Illustrated in black and white. Cloth. Near fine in dustjacket. Seventy years after it was launched by its creator, Cecil Kimber, the MG has become a legend. The most familiar, best loved, most cherished and collectable of all cars, it is sought after, lovingly restored and entered in rallies, races and hill-climbs throughout the world. Its fans are legion and growing year by year. This exciting celebration of the MG's glorious history is in itself a treasure trove for all the car's devotees. It present an insider's view of the making of the MG Legend, with contributions from men and women who have been associated with the car and its creator since the early days and who have provided much previously unrecorded information, together with a wealth of historic photographs, many published here for the first time. Jean Cook, Cecil Kimber's daughter, has advised at every stage of the book's preparation and has written her own personal and unique account of how the MG was born, lending many photographs from her personal album to illustrate her memories of her father. The special interest of her contribution is matched by those of Cyril Mellor, Barry Foster, Anna Guerrier, David Saunders, Geoff Shirt and Mike Allison, each of whom had deep knowledge of particular aspects of the MG company and the different marques. A little-known essay by Cecil Kimber himself appears here in book form for the first time. The book contains a complete listing of all MG models, including the new MG RV8, and a biography of specialist titles for devotees. About 100 photographs illustrate the different marques, the personalities and the historic moments in the history of a car for that was designed as an inexpensive sports car for the general public and has become an international celebrity whose immortality is assured.
