Inside the Octagon (1995) watch online HD

This opus on a shoestring budget has preserved the memories of the people behind an iconic automobile. It covers the history of the M.G. Car Company of Abingdon, Berkshire, up to the outbreak of World War II. It includes a synopsis of personal interactions between Cecil Kimber, Reggie Jackson, and William Morris as well as others. Watson also had the foresight to extensively interview key people such as John Thorney, one of the pivotal people behind the success of MG, concerning the post-war history of the marque, as well gathering more data for the filming of what was then to be a possible sequel.

Watson's film is exceptionally well organized. He and his film production group traveled from Texas to England to start their tenacious digging for old prewar racing and factory footage, as well as still photos. This effort by this dedicated group of Houstonians has reflected favorably throughout the world, on this and other efforts by Watson.

The sequel is almost ready for release and is eagerly awaited everywhere. It will cover the history of MG of Abingdon after World War II until the factory ceased production in late 1980.

It would be interesting to see the role of the Abingdon factory in Englad's war effort. I have heard they produced components for tanks and Lancaster bombers but my knowledge is sketchy.
