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 you possibly thought you knew well.

David Knowles

David Knowles has become synonymous with MG history. He has a particular interest in the postwar story, when the marque exploded onto the world stage, becoming the preeminent sports car marque in North America, leading to the memorable advertising slogan: "MG. The Sports Car America Loved First." By profession David is a Chartered Civil Engineer, but he has been writing about MG and Triumph sports cars (among other brands) for over thirty years.

Always turning up fresh information for his fellow enthusiasts, his previous works have covered every period of MG history and every model either sold or, in some cases, only developed in prototype form. David's thorough research has expanded into the parallel field of postwar Triumph sports cars, including seminal works on the Triumph TR6 and the Triumph TR7 and TR8.

Previous volumes of his MG works have been selected as "book of the month" by leading UK classic car magazines including Classic Cars and Classic & Sportscar. He is a Consultant Editor for MG Enthusiast Magazine and has contributed extensively to other internationally recognised MG publications.
