Arguably the most popular British sports car ever built, the MGB has competed in every form of motor sport. Much has previously been written about the ‘works cars’ but John Baggott covers new ground, tracing the subsequent history of some of the well known after they had passed into private hands.

John Baggott covers in great detail all the models’ racing history including the MGB roadster, MGB GT, MGC and the MGB GT V8, and also that of the Elva Courier, Gilbern GT1800, Ginetta G11 and TVR Grantura and the unique WSM MGB, all of which competed using MGB engines and, in some cases, running gear.

All the cars described still race today and this fascinating book brings the, largely untold, story right up to date with information on their participation in the current championships
