1966 MGB

1966 MGB

The MGB is a two-door sports car manufactured and marketed from 1962 until 1980 by the British Motor Corporation later the Austin-Morris division of British Leyland, as a four-cylinder, soft-top sports car. It was announced and its details first published on 19 September 1962. The MGB was one of the first cars to feature controlled crumple zones designed to protect the driver and passenger in a 30 mph impact with an immovable barrier (200 ton). 

The roadster was the first of the MGB range to be produced. The body was a pure two-seater; a small rear seat was a rare option at one point. By making better use of space the MGB was able to offer more passenger and luggage accommodation than the earlier MGA while being 3 in shorter overall. The suspension was also softer, giving a smoother ride, and the larger engine gave a slightly higher top speed. The four-speed gearbox was an uprated version of the one used in the MGA with an optional (electrically activated) overdrive transmission.

 

This MGB roadster is featured in rallye look trim with factory removable hardtop. This B roadster also has the dual SU carbs and factory oil cooler that were standard equipment ending in this model year. It also has factory optional wire wheels and front air dam with brake cooling ducts. Original body panels have excellent fit with tight closing doors and hatch. The chrome trim and bumpers are in very good shape. The interior of this MGB has original style seats door panels, and uncracked dash all in very good condition. 

 We have serviced it routinely in our shop for the owner and have test driven it. The engine starts easily, and pulls strongly without smoke or odd noises. It shifts up and down through all of the gears with no problems. The car comes with shop manual , original, jack & knock off hammer. This is a super entry level car that can be a real head turner at local shows!
