Overview

Few cars have ever captured the spirit of freedom, style, and driving pleasure quite like the MG B. Launched in 1962 and built for nearly two decades, this unassuming two-seater became a global icon-an enduring symbol of British craftsmanship, optimism, and the simple joy of the open road. Everyman's Sports Car: The MG B Story is the definitive, fact-based narrative of the MG B's creation, evolution, and legacy, tracing its journey from the Abingdon factory floor to the hearts and garages of enthusiasts around the world. Drawing on the complete history of the marque, this book chronicles the MG B's engineering breakthroughs, design philosophy, and racing adventures, as well as the people and culture that sustained it. It captures the car's pivotal role in the golden age of British motoring, its huge success in the American market, and the resilience of the global MG community that has kept the legend alive for more than sixty years. From the first chrome-bumper roadsters to the final rubber-bumper editions and beyond, this is the full story of a car that outlived the company that made it-and became timeless in the process. Everyman's Sports Car celebrates not only the MG B's technical achievements but also its emotional power-the way it brought performance and passion within reach of ordinary drivers. Beautifully written and deeply researched, it is both an industrial history and a love letter to a machine that still makes the world smile every time it turns a corner.
