Mg, Made in Abingdon

Echoes from the Shopfloor
Here, from the memories of many men and women, is an intimate account of what it was like to work in MG’s Abingdon factory. From tea trolley to production line and from apprentice to manager, this book includes memorable events, romance, tragedy, humour, motorsport, and the lead up to factory closure.
MG was a home-grown concept that became an international success, bringing the small market town of Abingdon onto the global map. MG - Made in Abingdon recounts the inside story of the famous factory, recognising that the most important aspect of MG’s success was its team – the tea-boys and girls, the shop floor workers, the engineers and racers, the apprentices and management. From memories of the production line to recollections of racing incidents, the untold story of MG from the men and women who worked in the Abingdon factory is revealed for the first time in a book that is both nostalgic and historically important.“This is social history at its best.” (Classic Car)“The real treasure is without a doubt the stories . a valuable piece of social history.” (Classic and Sports Car)“Opens a window on aspects of MG life that rarely get an airing in public.” (MG Enthusiast)
