Here are some more information for Mgb Triumph:
When we bought our 1969 MGB Roadster the boot lid was fitted with the standard MGB boot stay made from a thick piece of bent wire. I thought this was extremely inadequate and likely to cause problems if not used properly by our customers. As we also have a number of Triumphs I liked the self locking Triumph type of boot stay so fitted one of these instead.
This meant that the boot could be raised and would lock in position without having to mess about with the old bit of wire. Closing the boot was easy as it just meant lifting the boot lid slightly for the catch to release and then closing the boot. Much easier and supposedly idiot prof.
Until that is one of our hirer's assumed that it worked the same way as a modern spring loaded boot lid. We showed the driver how to work the boot lid when he collected the car from us and off he went to his wedding. No problem. Then his brother put something in the boot, grabbed the lid and pulled it down. The left hand stayed where it was, held in place by the stay and the boot lid bent under the strain.
The customer had to pay the bill for a replacement boot lid, painted to match and fitted.
To make sure this wouldn't happen again, I then added another matching stay to the right hand side of the boot lid. It will now take a really Strong idiot to bend it again.
I have also fitted the same type of stay to hold up the bonnet.

Mg Mgb and Mgb V8 Information
Produced by British Leyland, the MGA’s replacement, the MGB, became the number one selling sports car with an extremely sleek design.
Rapid sales saw the MGB, initially a soft top, released as GT and GT V8 versions. The 1800cc 4 cylinder engine was quick for its day, capable of reaching 0-60mph in eleven seconds and producing just under 100hp. Due to advances in production, such as the monocoque chassis, MGB was able to produce a lighter model compared to the rivals of the day, such as the Triumph’s. Coupled with the advances in performance was the progress in the MGB safety features, including the first crumple zones.
The MGB GT was a hard top version released in 1965. Although the rear of the car was limited due to the use of a small bench instead of full seats, the hard top was said to have better handling and higher top speed due to a more rigid chassis and better aerodynamics. Being one of the first ever hatchbacks, the MGB GT was popular due to its versatile nature. The rear space offered a large flat luggage area due to the folding rear seats, creating a more practical solution for a lot of drivers.
The MGB GT V8 was introduced in 1973, powered by the Rover V8, thus the MGB GT V8 was a much powerful variation, and was capable of very respectable performance figures. Top speed of 125 mph, and going 0-60mph around the 8 second mark.
During the successful MGB production there was the release of the mk2 and mk3 MGB. These new variations saw slight tweaks to the original MGB model, mainly small changes to the exterior such as the grille, bumper, and windscreen wipers. A more notable introduction was that of the MGB’s sister, the MG MGB. The MGB was powered by a 2.9L 6 cylinder engine, capable of reaching close to 120mph and output just under 150hp, which made it a much powerful alternative to the popular MGB. Slight changes were made to the exterior of the MGB, most noted was the larger wheels and power bulge on the bonnet.
The once very popular sports car ceased production in 1980 due to slowing sale figures.

similar questions???
sorry about the sh***y headline,but I got frustrated trying to type in a question,and getting loads of "similar questions"arrrghhh!!!
With the ever-increasing price of petrol in the UK, and the cost of motoring going up,plus a more green attitude toward motoring,I`ve decided that this will be the last (short season) my Countach will have for a while;I`ll lay it up,in deep sleep until things improve,or until I win 100k on the lottery.
My question is this,as a replacement sports car,which would you choose from the following list,as a top three - MGB circa 1973,Triumph GT6 1972,Lancia Fulvia 1978,TVR Tuscan 1972,Reliant Scimitar 1978,BMW 2002ti,FIAT X19,FIAT 500 Abarth.As you guess,I am a classic car nut,and I need to down size for the reasons mentioned above!!!Any other suggestions as to what I might choose ??
I`ve owned an MGBGT and two GT6`s,along with three mini coopers;I haven`t decided yet - I want something in addition to my everyday car,a Ford Focus on 05 plates......
Hi i would say the MGB is about best bet does not cost a fortune to keep lots of spares for them still and you can DIY easy on them .
What about 944 porsche they were reasonable and easy to keep
