David Knowles has become synonymous with MG history. He has a particular interest in the postwar story, when the marque exploded onto the world stage, becoming the preeminent sports car marque in North America, leading to the memorable advertising slogan: “MG. The Sports Car America Loved First.” By profession David is a Chartered Civil Engineer, but he has been writing about MG and Triumph sports cars (among other brands) for over thirty years. Always turning up fresh information for his fellow enthusiasts, his previous works have covered every period of MG history and every model either sold or, in some cases, only developed in prototype form. David’s thorough research has expanded into the parallel field of postwar Triumph sports cars, including seminal works on the Triumph TR6 and the Triumph TR7 and TR8.

He is a Consultant Editor for MG Enthusiast Magazine and has contributed extensively to other internationally recognised MG publications. Previous books include:
