Model History

The MG B was introduced in 1962 as the successor to the MGA and quickly became one of the most famous British sports cars. The model was produced until 1980 and was originally designed as an open-top two-seater with a four-cylinder engine. In 1965, the MGB GT—a coupe variant with a 2+2 seating configuration—followed, while the more powerful MGC with a six-cylinder engine was introduced in 1967. In total, over 500,000 units of the MG B and its variants were sold. After a hiatus in production, the model was revived in 1992 as the MG RV8 with a modernized design and a production run limited to 2,000 units, before the MG F was finally introduced in 1995 as its official successor.
