The T Series MGs, starting with the TA introduced in 1936, represent the absolute archetype of the British sports car. They are recognised on the road by more people - including ’non-motoring’ people - than almost any other model of classic car. They provide the authentic experience of sports car driving: the snug two-seater cockpit, quick steering, firm suspension, flat cornering, snappy gearchange and lively engine. The book covers TA to TF, including variants such as the Airline coupé and the Arnolt MG.
