MGB RoadsterLaunched in 1962, the MGB Roadster was the first of the MGB range to be produced and introduced an innovative monocoque construction, producing a lightweight design which reduced manufacturing costs while adding to body strength. Using an enlarged version of the BMC B-series engine from the MGA with displacement increased to 1798cc allowed a top speed of 105mph (170kph) and a 0-60mph (96km/h) time of 12 seconds, with a power output of 95bhp (71kW) at 5,400 rpm and 110Ib/ft (150Nm) of torque @ 3000rpm allowing fuel consumption around 25 mpg. Brakes and suspension were developments of the MGA to cope with the slightly increased weight. Release of the Mkll in 1967 saw the introduction of an all-synchromesh gearbox with optional automatic transmission, a new rear axle and electrical changes from a dynamo to an alternator. Engine specifications changed through the build period but most changes were imposed by US emissions regulations which caused the power to fall steadily from 1968. ROstyle wheels were added in 1970, followed in 1973 by more cosmetic changes, then in 1975 more changes were required for the US market with an increase in the ride height and the introduction of polyurethane safety bumpers. 977 saw a restyled dashboard fascia with a new steering wheel and instrument layout and the MGB continued in this form to the end of production in 1980 when over 500,000 had been produced. During those 18 production years the majority of MGB’s were exported to the United States. The example illustrated here is part of the collection at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, UK.
