MG MGB 1962-1980
What is your favourite car of all time?
Representing a natural progression along traditional lines, the MGB made its debut in 1962 and although it was not the leap into the future some had hoped for, the new model was well received. Chief departure from previous MG practice was a monocoque construction with an integral body/chassis forming an immensely rigid structure. The familiar B-series engine was employed but was now bored out to 1,798cc (110cu.in) raising output to 95BHP at 5,400rpm. 0-60km/h (0-96km/h) took 12.2 seconds with a top speed of 105mph (169km/h). By comparison to the MGA, there was greater comfort and space for the driver and passengers, more comprehensive instruments and winding windows. Over 500,000 examples make it Britain's most successful sports car.
