What is your favourite car of all time?

Although the last MGB's rolled off the production line in October 1980, the launch of the Limited Edition (LE) models was delayed by British Leyland until the January of 1981. There were just 1,000 of the Limited Edition models divided up as follows: 420 open Tourers in metalic bronze with gold LE side livery and 580 GTs in metallic pewter with silver LE side livery. Centre-lock wire wheels were fitted to 208 of the open cars while all the others were given five-spoke cast alloy wheels were fitted to 208 of the open cars while all the others were given five-spoke cas alloy wheels and shod with 185/70 SR - 14" tyres. Prices new in the UK were £6,445 for the Roadster LE and £6,937 for the GT LE. The very last cars off the line were in fact a MGB Roadster and a MGB GT in LE livery and both of these went straight into the care of British Leyland Heritage.
