Having owned both chrome and rubber bumper versions over the years I have always preferred the latter, they actually drive better and seem to have more road presence as well as gathering less muck underneath 😁. Lovely cars, had a similar 1978 Tahiti Blue GT as a daily not so long ago and now punt around in a 1980 LE Roadster in decent weather. Thanks for posting support for the ‘Rubbers’! Let the armchair pundits fork out three times as much for a couple of rusty chrome bumpers 🤣
Thanks for doing this review. Being 63 since yesterday and can't afford my dream Italian cars from the 70th, the MGB is a clear alternative. There was a major change after Sep 1976 on these cars. So I'm looking for one of these ones. Heart says an open one, brain says a GT. Also after the aforementioned date, the V8 (RV8) swap is easier... Best Greetings from Sweden. PS The Stag should have had a Rover V8, if it wasn't for stubborn engineers and executives......
Looks a tidy car, though I notice the steering wheel is from an earlier model. Had rubber bumper BGT for 25 years almost and only ever experienced body roll once in that time. Road handling I have always found fine, and if a Caterham 7 shunts you from behind as happened to me, then they come off a lot worse than you. My car was undamaged as he hit the rubber bumber.

Lovely little cars. I have a '77 Tourer in Tahiti Blue and it's a blast.
Thanks for a very pleasant and informative video :-)

The lack of engine noise in this video breaks my heart.

These were my favorite MGB's. I prefer the rubber bumper/higher ride height. Just wish you could still get an automatic!
Sweet ride
I was able to put a double bass drum kit in my mgb gt. There is space if you use it optimally.
Nice review!
