When the firstMG Midget appeared at the 1928 London Motor Show few would have thought that itwould be the car to save the recently established marque from closure, a fatethat affected many others during the depression that followed the 1929 WallStreet Crash. Sales previously had been of relatively expensive cars to thewealthy and the other new MG on display, the 18/80 was even more costly. Rightfrom the start, sales of the M-type Midget looked promising and soon eclipsedthose of the larger MGs. These and those that followed dominated the sports carmarket in the 1930s and post-war, when a large proportion of the output fromthe Abingdon MG factory was exported. This book givesdetails of each model, with a technical description, competition history andspecial bodied versions listed, all backed up by photographs, both period andmore recent.
