The MGB, a British classic from 1962 to 1980, is like the cooler, faster cousin of the MGA, hitting 60 mph in just over eleven seconds—perfect for those high-speed chases to the grocery store. Sporting a unibody design with crumple zones, it’s practically the superhero of cars, ready to save you in a 30 mph collision. Special thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the images, proving that even cars love a good photoshoot!
The MGB is manufactured by the British Motor Corporation from the start, but later by British Leyland, from 1962 through 1980. The MGB is a totally redesigned version of the MGA, its predecessor. The newer model will do 0-60 mph (97km/h) in eleven plus seconds and shares few components with the earlier model. The unibody “B” type MG features ‘crumple zones” to protect the occupants from a 30 mph (48 km/h) collision with an immovable barrier and this is a first for the American market place.
MCF would like to thank Gateway Classic Cars for the images reproduced here.
