MG MGA - 2nd Edition 'Call it MGA'

My copy of the new book arrived today, and after a quick flick through I can tell it is a big step up from the already truly excellent 1st Edition. I can highly recommend it as an great buy, and would like to thank the authors for the hard work it obviously took to put together. Thanks to Roger and Piers.

Got mine a couple of weeks ago, signed by the authors. Lot more pages than the 1st edition.

Good to know that these books have been shipped as I was about to send out a note inquiring about the signed copy I ordered a few months ago. Looking forward to receiving it!

Edition1 is 112 pages; edition 2 is 176 pages.

12 chapters instead of 8. Obvious additions include Notable Journies; Special Bodied Cars; Motor Sport - The Privateers is split into 2 chapters, UK and Around The World; and the 12 Chapter is Sixth Decade and Beyond.

I have not had a chance to get beyond the Contents list yet, just a quick flip through. Looks a very interesting read with masses of photos.

They are waiting for you to write the tools chapter for the next edition Gordon!

Talk about timing; my copy arrived this morning. Beautifully produced, top quality with many, many photos and stories. Look forward to some personal time with "Call It MGA".
Nick Kopernik

To add to Steve's comments, the new edition is also printed on a better quality paper than the orginal as well.
John Bray

No, no, the next edition has a chapter on MGA scale models - I have already volunteered photos of the 400+ in my collection !

I think Piers and Roger probably want a rest first......

Has anybody got a link to where a regular, unsigned copy may be purchased? Google was not really forthcoming.

Hi Cam, no where near qualified to do that I still manage to buy fakes :)

Hi unless I missed it in the book there doesn't seem to be any mention of Simon Robinson in the book which I find a little odd as he was Mr MGA for much of the 1970's when no one else took any notice of them, I just wondered if there was a reason for it or if it was just an oversight?

cheers Gordon

No thoughts anyone ?
