1980 MGB GT Limited Edition
Very much part of MGB history is the MGB Roadster, this being one of only 580 produced.
These cars were built at Abingdon in 1979 and were in fact the last MG's to be built at the famous factory before its closure in October 1980. The MGB was originally launched in 1962 and can be described as the world's most successful sports car with over half a million examples being produced during its 18 year span of continuous production.
It was by far the most popular British car to be sold in America since the war and it should be borne in mind that the MGB had two derivatives giving the sports car enthusiast an unrivalled choice of both open topped and closed GT motoring. The big advantage of the GT was that it had most of the attributes of the open top car but could accommodate a family if necessary.
The basic shape of the MGB and GT remained virtually the same throughout its production life apart from the post 1975 cars sporting impact resistant black bumpers front and rear. There were some obvious mechanical and cosmetic changes made to the MGB along the way but there is no doubt that the MGB was ahead of its time when introduced in 1962 and had not dated by 1980 when production ceased and it was regarded by many as the best looking sports car of the sixties and seventies.
