Formed by Cecil Kimber in the 1920's as the tuning arm of Morris Motors, MG is perhaps Britains best known, and best loved sportscar manufacturers. MG, meaning Morris Garages, built its first serious production cars in the late 20's with such models as the M-Type Midget. A series of successful models followed ranging from the elegant SA Grand Tourers to the Midget sportscars (helped by the successful works rally team, the Cream Crackers).

Post-war MG enjoyed the success of the T-Series cars followed by the more modern MGA. In 1962 MG announced its highly successful MGB and continued to build this model up-until its demise in 1980. Despite feeble attempts to resume "MG" production in the shape of the MG Metro and Maestro (harking back to the badge engineered BMC saloon models of the 50's and 60's) enthusiasts would have to await the all new MGF announced in 1995.

Having suffered at the hands of BMC, British Leyland, Austin Rover and BMW the company survives today as part of recently "saved" Rover Car Company, based at Longbridge. Only the time will tell what the future holds for Britains best loved sportscar, lets hope it continues to go from strength to strength.
