Synopsis
This work celebrates the 21st anniversary of the MG introduced in 1973, and still regarded by many as their best-ever sports car - the MGB GT V8. Although production ceased in 1976, the name has been dramatically revived by the launch of the MG RV8, produced by Rover, which is being widely publicized and enthusiastically received. This book looks at the original cars, as well as the new version. Production history, contemporary road tests, technical data, reminiscences from MG people, company literature, V8s overseas and V8 conversions are among the many aspects covered.
About the Author
David Knowles is one of the foremost MG historians of his generation, and MG V8 digs deep to deliver a story rich in hitherto undiscovered detail. This book is in some ways a return to David's book writing roots, for it was another MG V8 book, written in 1994 when he was the Secretary of the MG Car Club's V8 Register, which set him on the path of mining enthusiastically into British sports car history. The earlier book only covered the cars up to and including the launch of the MG RV8, and the subsequent twenty years have seen fascinating MG V8 developments.
