- Synopsis:
MG is known to many of its fans as "the brand that wouldn't die". Until the nineteen-eighties, the famous "Octagon" badge, with the MG initials centred in it, had been the symbol of one of the most popular and best-loved sports car names throughout some fifty years. Whether racing, record-breaking or simply providing fun for thousands of motorists, the MG Midget was the epitome of the small British sports car in the 'thirties. That happy state of affairs continued through the fifties with the traditional T-series and into the 'sixties with the MG-A. The MG-B of the 'seventies actually became the world's biggest-selling sports car! Strange then, that in the 'eighties the conglomerate that owned the brand seemed prepared to let the brand wither and die! Thankfully, there were always enthusiasts around to keep the flickering MG flame alight - and luckily some of them still worked in the British automotive industry. Thanks to them, the new MG-F sports car was launched in the mid-nineties and was an immediate success. Now the marque has just celebrated its 80th birthday and launched the X-Power SV - a 200mph supercar! The highs and lows of those eighty years are all told in this, "The Ultimate History of MG". - Directors:
