Mg Mgb And Mgb V8 Information
Produced by British Leyland the MGAs replacement the MGB became the number one selling sports car with an extremely sleek design.
Rapid sales saw the MGB initially a soft top released as GT and GT V8 versions. The 1800cc 4 cylinder engine was quick for its day capable of reaching 060mph in eleven seconds and producing just under 100hp. Due to advances in production such as the monocoque chassis MGB was able to produce a lighter model compared to the rivals of the day such as the Triumphs. Coupled with the advances in performance was the progress in the MGB safety features including the first crumple zones.
The MGB GT was a hard top version released in 1965. Although the rear of the car was limited due to the use of a small bench instead of full seats the hard top was said to have better handling and higher top speed due to a more rigid chassis and better aerodynamics. Being one of the first ever hatchbacks the MGB GT was popular due to its versatile nature. The rear space offered a large flat luggage area due to the folding rear seats creating a more practical solution for a lot of drivers.
The MGB GT V8 was introduced in 1973 powered by the Rover V8 thus the MGB GT V8 was a much powerful variation and was capable of very respectable performance figures. Top speed of 125 mph and going 060mph around the 8 second mark.
During the successful MGB production there was the release of the mk2 and mk3 MGB. These new variations saw slight tweaks to the original MGB model mainly small changes to the exterior such as the grille bumper and windscreen wipers. A more notable introduction was that of the MGBs sister the MG MGB. The MGB was powered by a 2.9L 6 cylinder engine capable of reaching close to 120mph and output just under 150hp which made it a much powerful alternative to the popular MGB. Slight changes were made to the exterior of the MGB most noted was the larger wheels and power bulge on the bonnet.
The once very popular sports car ceased production in 1980 due to slowing sale figures.
