My MGB Experience

 The MGB GT LE is an interesting car. There were a couple of different limited edition MGB's made. 1. Jubilee, 1975MGB 2. Limited Edition LE (1979-1980) - US model 3. Limited Edition LE (1980) - UK model.    MGB Jubilee In May 1975 Abingdon produced 750 specially prepared MGB GTs to celebrate what British Leyland thought to be the MG Car Company's fiftieth anniversary of the production of MG Cars. Features included some technical changes to meet new US safety standards plus cosmetic features including colour (green only), gold decals and V8 alloy wheels. MGB LE - US Model In 1979 British Leyland intended to produced 500 limited edition (LE) model roadsters for the US market but due to demand ended up producing 6682. The US LE model was similar to the UK LE model but with different fittings and colours - black only. MGB LE - UK Model These cars were built at Abingdon in 1979/80 and were in fact the last MGs to be built at the famous factory before its closure in October 1980
