ABOUT
The first title in Bay View'-; new Collectibles series, this
book reveals the extraordinary range of automobilia inspired by the MG
marque - everything except the full-size cars themselves.
Several thousand objects are shown in over 450 colour illustrations.
Their sheer variety - from trinkets to important artefacts - means that
any car enthusiast, MG-obsessed or otherwise, will find appealing things
to look at, backed up by informed comment from an author who is a committed
collector in his own right. No effort has been spared in assembling a stunning
cross section of exhibits, painstakingly photographed on both sides of
the Atlantic.
Broad themes covered include models, memorabilia, art/design, sales
catalogues, books magazines, showroom promotional material and advertising.
Memorabilia is where some of the most fascinating pieces are found,
all of them sharing a marque identity: badges, ties, lighters, ashtrays,
postcards, penknives, jewellery, mugs, tankards, clothing, pens, watches
and much, much more.
An appendix gives invaluable listings of all known MG sales catalogues,
models, books and magazine articles.
Stretching back to the late 1920s, collectibles are probably more diverse
and numerous for MG than for any other marque.
Highlights include illustrations of the first sales brochure (literally
a photo album with typed captions), studies of MG's 1930s output of sumptuous
catalogues and humorous advertising, sculpture and paintings by Gordon
Crosby, `Magic Midget' silver cigarette lighters, models ranging from Gerald
Wingrove's meticulous J2 to cheap `breakfast cereal' giveaways, and MG-badged
bottles of beer. Coverage comes right up to date with MGF material.
This book is an imaginary museum of treasures. All
enthusiasts, whether or not they are collectors themselves, will be intrigued
and charmed by what they see
