MG MGB & MGB GT (Essential Buyer's Guide) 1 review Roger Williams
Veloce Publishing, 2006
Jolly good book
As a recent buyer of a 1973 MG, I needed the book to deal with the car I got (a great set of wheels, BTW). I've taken this book in for the 1 (!) time in a year that the car went to the shop and it was very helpful to the 21st century mechanic to orient him to the 20th (19th?) century mechanical ...

MGB Restoration Manual (Restoration Manuals) 12 reviews Lindsay Porter
Haynes Publishing, 1999
Essential Modern Middle Ground Book
+ Great Resource!
This is NOT the foundation book for MGB maintenance and repair. That honor is still held by the Haynes MGB 1962 thru 1980 book published in the 1980's and often delivered as part of the "kit" to anyone buying an original MGB, as I just did.
This book, however, is a really superb rendition of ...

How to Give your MGB V-8 Power (Speedpro) 1 review Roger Williams
Veloce Publishing, 2006
A bit pessimistic
A good book, with loads of detail information, but a reader will likely decide not to do the conversion after reading about all the customization and banging and chopping that, according to this book, must be performed. From those I've talked to it's really not that bad. So use the book as a ...

MG by McComb 2 reviews F. Wilson McComb
Motorbooks, 2004
Recognized as THE one-volume history of MG
+ Excellent source of information of the history of MG
F. Wilson McComb's book is probably the best single work on the MG Car Company, Ltd. He covers in exhaustive but very readable detail the history of MGs, from Old Number One to nearly the last MGBs. McComb covers the racing efforts, from British hillclimbs to perhaps MG's greatest outright win ...

MG's Abingdon Factory (Those were the days...) 1 review Brian Moylan
Veloce, 2007
A great look inside the MG factory in Abingdon-on-Thames
Mr. Moylan uses many personal photos to illustrate his story of 30 years working as a works and racing mechanic at the MG factory. This book is different from most MG books in that it includes many never-seen-before photos taken by plant workers and a lot of behind-the-scenes insights that focus ...

MG T Series Restoration Guide (Brooklands Books) 1 review R.M. Clarke

It's a good book.
I thought that this is a good all round book for someone interested in purchasing and fixing up a T series MG. It's seems more down to earth than "TC's Forever", ( the $200 Bible if you want a prize winning restoration of a TC) and its seems to be written with a more "American" point of view than ...
