The MG X-Power SV is MG Rover’s supercar. Developed by the MG team under chief designer Peter Stevens, who is also responsible for the McLaren F1, the SV originated in Italy as the De Tomaso Mangusta.

This detailed full-colour book tells the story of how the Ford V8-engined SV was developed from the Mangusta into a good looking high-performance car that has won plaudits from the press and which is still in the process of full launch on to the open market and the motorsport scene.

Written with the full co-operation of the MG team, this book is a fascinating window on to the gestation and birth of a new sports car.

The TR7, designed to replace both the MGB and the Triumph TR6, was the result. Its wedge-shaped design was modern enough but much of the rest of the car was, for some, disappointingly conventional and press reaction was...

Description

This book is a pictorial study of men and women drawn from all parts of the country to this little known rural town to take part in the building of a motor car . These workers were a mixture of skilled people from the depressed areas of England and Wales together with the few MG car workers who made the journey with the MG from Oxford to the rural town of Abingdon and its largely 
farming community. This mixture coalesced to become a work force that built a legend- The MG. With 160 photos of factory life both car building and during the war effort this is a fascinating story. 
Synopsis

The MG, from being a Morris car modified in the corner of a backstreet workshop, evolved into a sports car in its own right. The demand for this fiery little car caused the production to move to four different and progressively larger sites in and around Oxford, finally moving out of the city ten miles away to Abingdon and a factory that might have been custom built for it . This factory was on the site of a tannery that had inflated to over twice its size catering for the 1914-18 wartime demand for its leather products. The coming of peace caused it to deflate back to its previous level of production, leaving empty the rows of large hangars that had housed the wartime production effort. It was to this factory that Cecil Kimber, who had resigned his position as Managing Director of Morris Garages, brought his brain-child that he called the MG.
Twin rows of eighteen inch (45cm) high raised tracks were built. The chassis was brought from the workshop where it been made and, after the assembling of its suspension, it was mounted on to the track to start its journey from one stage to the next, finally emerging as a complete motor car. The car would then be tested on the factory’s own test track before being deemed fit for its eagerly awaiting new owner.
The men who took part in the assembling of the car were but a part of the organisation that went toward the finished article. Managers, Office staff, Storemen , Inspectors, Painters, Test drivers, Labourers and cleaners were all members of the great team, all had their part to play.
As they worked together so did they play together, ground was obtained for a football pitch, room was found in the town for a snooker club and a place where the men could join for a well earned drink This later developed into a modern Sports Club with football, hockey and cricket pitches.
The risk of fire in the factory was always present and to cope with this the factory had its own fiire engine and a full time fireman augmented when needed by a volunteer crew of factory workers, who trained in their spare time.
MG Abingdon’s famous racing reputation gained in the 1930s made it the obvious place to site BMCs Competition Department with its maiden venture the 1955 Le Mans 24 hour race.
The 160, many never seen before, pictures in this book chronicle every aspect of the factory from its opening amidst great euphoria in 1930 to its closing amidst great recriminations in 1980. 
Independent Reviews

Review from Octane magazine, July 2007

Besides the expected shots of MGs coming down the production lines over the decades, this breezy little softback is packed with fascinating shots detailing Abingdon life 'behind the scenes' – including the bones discovered during excavations in 1974 ...

Review by Paul Guinness for Classic Car Mart, June 2006 

Another in Veloce’s SpeedPro series, this softback title does exactly what it says on the cover. And although it’s not cheap at nearly thirty quid, its impressive detail and easy-to-understand instructions make it worth every penny for anybody thinking of squeezing a V8 engine into their humble MGB.

Written by acknowledged MGB expert Roger Williams, this book doesn’t just cover the procedures involved in replacing the B’s 1.8-litre four-pot with a Rover V8; it also explains why you might consider a Chevrolet or Ford small-block transplant instead, giving you an interesting range of options to choose from.

Completely redesigned, updated, revised and enlarged from earlier versions, How To Give Your MGB V8 Power offers clear step-by-step instructions throughout its 224 pages, as well as over 500 illustrations, most of them in colour. 

In these days of booming interest in the modified classics scene, the timing couldn’t be better. This radically improved Third Edition of an already decent book deserves to do well.

Review by Mike R for Classics Monthly, May 2006

This book offers a step by step guide to replacing the MGB's standard four-cylinder lump with a nice big V8. Wisely, the author covers not only the 3.5-litre Rover unit (which of course some B's were fitted with as standard but also Buick, Ford and Chevrolet engines too. Everything from gearbox and clutch to suspension, electrics, wheels and tyres is included with full colour pictures throughout. Buy this book and get a good idea of what you're letting yourself in for.

Review from Hemmings Motor News

Almost since the MGB hit the streets, naughty owners have lusted for the throaty roar and the seat-of-the-pants thrust of a 'torquey' V8. But unlike pulling that six-cylinder tooth on your Nova and lowering in a 350-cu.in. small-block V8 in its place, installing a V8 in an MGB isn't exactly a plug 'n' play exercise. At least until you start digging into Roger Williams' How to Give Your MGB V8 Power.

Rover V8 power is the decided choice here, but Williams does a good job laying out the pros and cons of that engine, plus the 302-cu.in. Ford, and the 350-cu.in. Chevrolet. Williams covers all the bases, including which car to consider (for once, rubber bumper Bs are the preferred choice), which engine, which transmission and rear end. Brake, electrical system, driveshaft and suspension modifications are all covered in detail. The book is billed as "step-by-step instructions," but it's really an overview of what needs to get done. There are over 500 color photos, but none of them are very large. Of course, if they were, the book would be 500 pages long, rather than 218. Our only major complaint is not necessarily aimed at this book, but all shop books that attempt to be relevant in the garage: Why aren't they spiral bound, so you can keep them open when you're actually turning a wrench?

This is the fourth edition of Roger Williams' guide to hotrodding your MGB. Not having a handy copy of the third edition, and not being supplied what's exactly new by the publishing company, I think we'd be safe in saying that in three editions, Williams probably had the steps down pat, so if you can find a copy of the third edition on sale somewhere, you're probably safe buying that.
