Description

Those rakish two-seaters are a distant memory. Sure, MG still exists as a company, but it builds family cars. Wagons, to be precise. Cecil Kimber’s vision for MG back in the 1920s is basically extinct. ‘A sports car should look fast,’ Kimber once said, ‘even when it is standing still.’ It was a philosophy he lived by every day. He had a zest for life and a nose for business. But there’s something most people don’t know: Kimber, the man who built what would become the most popular British sports car marque in history, wasn’t a very good mechanic, he never tinkered with an engine and, tragically, he never saw his little sports car develop.
