The MGB was a true British sports car, and in the early 1960s gave respectable, even exciting performance, in comparison with other cars of the day. In the intervening years, the appeal of the MGB has grown rather than diminished, and the car has a large following of enthusiast owners, supported by a network of specialist clubs and parts suppliers. Here is a guide to general car care, together with advice on how to adapt your car to suit you. This book was first published in 1988 and has now been re-issued as a digitally printed paperback.

With over 800 illustrations and text aimed at the DIY enthusiast, this book covers how to renovate the bodywork and chassis including the renewal of major panels and repainting; renovate interiors including the re-covering of seats and renewal of carpets and hood; give new life to mechanical and electrical components including an engine and braking system overhaul; and modify the car for improved performance and appearance; also what to look for when buying an MG Midget or Austin-Healey Sprite. Includes fitting the Rover Group/Heritage bodyshell.

This best-selling book, with nearly 1,400 illustrations, outlines the history of Britain’s favourite sports car, tells the prospective buyer how to find a good example of an MGB, MGC or MGB V8, then gets down to the restoration, detailing how to renovate bodywork and chassis; renovate interiors, including the recovering of seats and renewal of carpets and hood; and give new life to mechanical and electrical components. There is also information on building an MGB for today, with modern comfort, handling, performance and sound systems; and how to build a Heritage MGB.

The second edition of this highly respected history brings the evocative story of MG right up to date. This large-format, well-illustrated book charts all MGs from 1923 to the present-day TF sports car and ‘hot’ saloons, concentrating along the way on models with particularly strong interest to classic car enthusiasts, such as the T-types, the MGA and the MGB – the most popular British sports car ever. The authoritative text is supported with buying tips, personal impressions of individual models, and data boxes on topics as varied as the EX257 and Le Mans TC, the XPowerSV and the ZR, ZS and ZT in competition.
