The MGB is a two-door sports car manufactured by the British Motor Corporation and later British Leyland at Abingdon-on-Thames from 1962 to 1980. Produced as a four-cylinder Roadster from launch and as the three-door GT coupé from 1965, the MGB became the best-selling MG sports car of all time with over 500,000 cars built across both body styles. Its combination of reliable mechanicals, straightforward engineering, and genuinely enjoyable road manners has made it the most popular entry point into classic car ownership in the UK, and a car that rewards careful maintenance with decades of dependable service. The MGB evolved continuously across eighteen years of production.
Chrome bumper cars from 1962 to 1974 are distinguished from rubber bumper models produced from September 1974 to 1980, but within those broad categories there were numerous specification changes affecting the engine, gearbox, axle, electrical system, cooling system, bodywork, and interior trim. Understanding which specification applies to a particular car, identified primarily by chassis number and engine number prefix, is essential when selecting replacement parts. MGOC Spares has supplied MGB owners with parts, technical support, and specialist knowledge since 1973. The catalogue covers every major system on the car, engine, cooling, fuel, exhaust, clutch, gearbox, overdrive, axle, suspension, steering, brakes, wheels, electrics, lighting, heating, bodywork, brightwork, interior, and weather equipment, with standard replacement parts alongside proven performance and comfort upgrades developed from decades of supplying the MG community.
Whether you are maintaining a daily driver, restoring a project car, or building a modified MGB for fast road or competition use, the information throughout this catalogue is designed to help you identify the correct parts for your car's specification and make informed decisions about upgrades and alternatives.
