The MGB roadster was first introduced in 1962. More functional than previous MG’s, it replaced the streamlined MGA of the 1950s. A closed coupe called the MGB GT was introduced in September 1965 adding to the practical appeal of the model. Due to the continuing decline of sales in the U.S. market as well as the ailing health of the parent corporation British Leyland, production ceased in October 1980 after 386,961 roadsters and 125,282 GT’s were built.

This car shows a little more than 16,000 kilometers from new and is equipped with the standard four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission along with a rear luggage rack. It is fitted with an aftermarket radio/tape deck combination and speakers as well as Bosch foglights. Painted black with a tan interior and matching exterior striping it is an excellent example of the final Canadian Edition Mark IV’s sold.
