with a 1798cc engine and a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Overdrives were fitted to less than 20% of all MGBs. From 1975 the ride height was increased by an inch, and distinctive rubber bumpers were fitted to meet bumper standards.

A recent and extensive refurbishment was performed. The exterior was resprayed in British Racing Green, and two white racing stripes were added. The left quarter panel was the only body panel that needed replacement, along with floorpans. An air dam was also fitted to the front, for more aggressive styling. The black interior was treated to new seat covers, console, clock, dashboard pad and carpet. The windshield and gasket were replaced during the repaint.
