Insider Report

What this book from others on the popular MGB is different, is the fact that it was written by an absolute Insider. Don Hayter was part of the team for the development of the MGB, he was responsible in large part for the MGB GT in 1973 and eventually chief engineer in Abingdon. Very interesting are his insights behind the scenes of an automotive brand that has to deal with constant change of licensing requirements, special those in the US. While loosely-light came along the advertising of the MGB in the 70s, the engineers struggled behind closed doors to keep the most successful sports car of all time at the UK market. The mother-British Leyland was her daughter MG not always on hand, as Hayter talks out of school. An exciting journey through many ups and downs as many a famous car model made in Britain.
