Knowledgeable classic car owners who have never owned an MG before find it hard to get fired up with enthusiasm by the B. It’s understandable of course; they’re not elegant choice, (almost 500,000 were made), and they’re not largely fast, which in the eyes of many, means they’re not as desirable.

But they shouldn’t short-changes the MG, because it’s those two characteristics that make it so attainable. Not only is the MGB affordable to buy and run because it’s powered by a small 1.8-liter pushrod engine, but the vast number of survivors means club and specialist support is pretty much matchless, at least for a car that went out of production in the early 1980s.
