MG Enthusiast

MG Enthusiast, the world's best-selling MG magazine, is the long-established make-specific publication dedicated to all MGs, covering all examples from the earliest 14/40s, through the T-Types to the more familiar shapes, including the Midget and the ubiquitous MGB; and not forgetting the more contemporary mid-engined MGF and the ZR/ZS/ZT saloons and hatchbacks.

A celebration of MG’s post-war sports cars

Syd Enever – the father of post-war MGs • There have been many people involved in the post-war history of MG but, without Syd Enever, there may never have been an MGA or MGB. Here, from his new book, our resident historian tells his story through the eyes of those who knew him.

MGA: The first all-new post-war sports car • The idea for the MGA came from the 1951 Le Mans 24-Hour race and a special streamlined body crafted for George Phillips’s racing car, created by MG Chief Engineer and Designer, Syd Enever.

MGA BUYING GUIDE

MGA: the rivals • Homegrown muscle or Italian exotica?

MG Midget: return of a famous name • Although it became one of the most successful MGs of all-time, the Midget was never intended to wear the famous octagonal badge at all.

MIDGET BUYING GUIDE

MG Midget: the rivals • Small sports cars may have been common but variety wasn’t…

MGB: the most famous MG of all

MGC: potential never realised? • The MGC should have been the performance MG that everyone wanted, but it fell short of expectations. Today, it’s highly sought after…

MGB GT V8: the performance MG that almost never happened • The V8-powered MGB had a difficult gestation, but was worth the wait. It’s a car of immense character.

MG RV8: the roadster’s return • A side task for Rover Special Projects and a precursor to an all-new sports car, the RV8 was the klaxon that announced MG’s return

MGB BUYING GUIDE

MGB: the rivals • Homegrown and US-influenced, exotic Italian or beast from the east?

MGF: a legend reborn • A new volume MG sports car was a long-time coming, and almost never made it at all, but the MGF was worth the wait.

MG TF: innovation meets convention • With its coil-sprung suspension, the TF may have seemed a retrograde step compared with the MGF that shared its bodyshell – but it wasn’t. It was a great car and would become the last MG sports car to be launched for a further 22 years…

BUYING GUIDE: MGF and TF

MGF/TF rivals • Japanese efficiency, German quality or a pair of Italian stallions…

MG SV and SV-R: the XPower supercar • A 4.6-litre V8 supercar might not have seemed the most obvious vehicle for a struggling manufacturer to launch, but the MG SV was a lot more than just a folly…

MG SV rivals: British brutes or Teutonic titans?

MG Cyberster: a new sports car for a new generation • The first all-new MG sports car in over two decades took a very different approach to its predecessors, with an electric powertrain making it the fastest MG ever…
