In this readable and informative book, the author follows the development of the various MG T-Series models, including the prewar Midgets and the MG TC, TD and TF.

The T Series MGs TA, TB, TC, TD and TF evoke the living spirit of traditional sports car motoring. All five models are illustrated in superb detail, supported by an authoritative text aimed at helping owners get their cars right. The TA and TB Tickford Drophead Coupmodels and the rare Arnolt-MG are included.

In the 1930s MG, more than any other make of car, made sports car motoring available to thousands. Introduced in 1936, the T-Series carried the process forward another stage, turning MG into a bestseller both in the USA and the UK and laying the foundations for the MGAs, MGBs and Midgets. Topics covered include: background to T-series design and development; profiles of key personalities; record breaking, racing and rallying; detailed specifications of each model; production numbers and the T-Series today.

Here is a new edition of Clausager’s classic book Original MG T Series, first published in 1989 and never out of print since. For this edition fresh in-depth photography of all models from TA of 1936 to TF of 1954 has been commissioned, the text has been thoroughly overhauled to incorporate new knowledge, and chapters have been added on pre-T Series MG Midgets and on coachbuilt and special-bodied cars. The MG T Series, and in particular the TC model of 1945-49, represent the treasured archetype of the British sports car – instantly recognisable and as popular today as they have consistently been throughout the decades.

The T Series MGs, starting with the TA introduced in 1936, represents the absolute archetype of the British sports car. These cars provide the authentic experience of sports car driving: the snug two-seater cockpit, quick steering, firm suspension, flat cornering, snappy gearchange and lively engine. Then there are the looks: the long bonnet, swept wings, cutaway doors, slab tank and rear-mounted spare wheel established a unique style. In addition, the T Series MGs opened the door for the British sports car's conquest of the U.S. market.
