About the 1962 MG MGB Roadster

The early MGB Roadster represents British sports car engineering at its most pure and purposeful. Launched in 1962 as the successor to the beloved MGA, the MGB featured a revolutionary unibody construction that was both lighter and stiffer than its predecessor. The 1.8-liter B-series four-cylinder produced 95 horsepower, enough to propel the svelte roadster to 60 mph in under 12 seconds. These early cars, produced through 1967, are distinguished by their chrome bumpers, pull-door handles, and three-main-bearing engines that deliver the classic British sports car experience collectors prize. With over 387,000 MGBs built during its 18-year run, finding one isn't difficult, but locating an unmolested early example with matching numbers and proper chrome work commands serious money. The pre-1968 cars avoid the safety and emissions compromises that diluted later models, making them the sweet spot for purists.
