Book Description
When the MGB was introduced in the 1960s, enthusiasts marveled at its performance and extras like chrome wire wheels, leather seats, and overdrive. It wasn't long, however, before "ordinary" cars improved, and by the early 1980s MGB owners found themselves left at traffic lights by family sedans. In the meantime, a thriving aftermarket has evolved supporting owners seeking to restore and modify their MGBs, MGCs and MGB GT V8s. After briefly examining MGB and MGC design and development, this completely illustrated how-to offers a wealth of advice on improving these popular British sports cars for high performance, aesthetics, and today's road conditions. Topics covered include general engine, transmission and suspension improvements; better braking; modernized heating and cooling; bodyshell and interior improvements; and updated electrics. Also included is an appendix listing U.S. specialists and suppliers.
