A wave of drivers first competed on the track in these and the later TD, TF and MGA models during the 1950s, many of them eventually moving up to Porsches, Alfa Romeos, Jaguars and Ferraris. Eighty such drivers, from the famous (e.g., Phil Hill, John Fitch, David E. Davis, Jr.) to lesser known men and women with equally vivid stories, are profiled in this book, which presents many of their recollections from firsthand interviews alongside a wealth of period photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarl Goodwin\u003c\/b\u003e has written for \u003ci\u003eVintage Motorsport, Vintage Racecar, Classic Motorsports, Classic MG, 356 Registry, Forza\u003c\/i\u003e and other periodicals, plus the Italian car web site \u003ci\u003eVeloce Today\u003c\/i\u003e.
