Cecil Kimber, the company’s manager at the time, began developing a sportier version of the Morris model, creating a car brand that was lightweight, affordable, and focused on driving pleasure.
From the 1930s to the 1960s, MG established itself as a symbol of British sports cars, especially through its compact roadsters, and were popular in major markets such as the UK and the US. Models such as the MGB solidified the company’s reputation as a manufacturer of sophisticated, relatively affordable sports cars and created an owner’s club culture that remains active today.
