The MGB GT arrived in 1965 three years after the Roadster with production continued in 1980 and modifications in line with the Roadster. Designed by Pininfarina and launching the sporty hatchback style. The new configuration was a 2+2 design most components were shared although the GT did receive different suspension springs and anti-roll bars and a different windscreen. Performance wise the GT had slightly slower acceleration due to its extra weight but a higher top speed due to improved aerodynamics.
The Mark II 1972-80 originally brought few changes. Mainly to the interior with the heater and fascia altered. Early in 1974 to meet US impact regulations the chrome bumper over riders were replaced by large rubber ones. Nicknamed Sabrina's after the actress who was the Jordan of her day. In the second half of 1974 these were replaced by by heavy steel reinforced black rubber bumpers which also incorporated the nose. The rear had matching bumpers. New US head lamp regulations also meant that the lights were to low a situation remedied by raising the suspension one inch, Complying with the new US emission regulations also meant a reduction in power

Later on during the rubber bumper production period, alloy wheels were introduced on several different limited edition models - with the final 1,000 LE models being the last cars to leave the factory with alloy wheels. The UK received bronze-painted roadsters and a silver GT model limited edition. The production run of homemarket limited edition MGBs was split between 421 roadsters and 579 GTs.
*This is one of the last of the breed registered 1981 LE
