Evolution to the 1974 MGB Roadster

The 1974 MG MGB Mark III represents the final evolution of the MGB series before significant changes in 1975. Initially introduced in 1962, the MGB underwent gradual improvements to performance, comfort, and safety. By 1974, it featured a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder engine and a 4-speed manual transmission, with optional overdrive. This year marked the transition to rubber bumpers for the U.S. market, due to stricter safety regulations, slightly altering its classic appearance. Despite these changes, the '74 MGB maintained its charm as a quintessential British sports car.
