Syd Enever's aims for the MGB
Posted: 220124 |

The
MGB was a great British success story, a product largely
conceived, designed and produced by a small team of dedicated
people who genuinely cared about their work. Of course, the
MGB came from a proud, successful sports car tradition, and
the model it replaced - the revolutionary aerodynamic MGA -
had been an unprecedented success - so the new car had big shoes
to fill. Launching in 1962 and in production for eighteen years,
the MGB became one of the most successful sports cars the world
has ever known. This book describes how the MGB arose principally
from the ideas of one man, MG's Chief Engineer, Syd
Enever, how it was designed and developed, how it survived
and thrived, and how it became the classic car still highly
regarded today. There have been many previous books about the
MGB, and the related MGC and V8 variants, but MGB - The superlative
MG reaches a new level of detail together seasoned with
fresh insight. David Knowles has been researching and writing
about the MGB for more than thirty years. Prepare to be surprised
at some of the stories you will have never read before, and
new twists on some stories you possibly thought you knew well.
