BRITAIN'S BEST LOVED SPORTS CAR
The MGB is the most successful MG sports car ever built, selling more than 500,000 between 1962 and 1980. Built at the famous Abingdon Works, it quickly achieved classic status epitomising the British sports car and winning hearts throughout the world.
The MGB Video explores the myths, legends and facts behind the design, production and competition history of the MGB, MGB GT, MGC and the MGB GTV8, the first affordable British muscle car. Included is first footage of the new MG RV8. The story of the MGB from conception to the closure of the Abingdon Works is told by the people who were there at the time, including John Thornley, the legendary 'gaffer' of MG; Don Hayter, the gifted designer of the MGB; and Stuart Turner, the Competitions Manager at Abingdon; all of whom speak freely of the camaraderie and secrets behind this famous factory. Painting the picture in film is a huge compilation of archive footage, much of which has never been seen before, combined with contemporary footage of the new Heritage body shell and an interview with David Bishop, the man who masterminded the MGB rebirth.
