the history of the iconic British sports car. By the late 1970s,
the MGB, which had been in production since the early 1960s, was
facing increasing competition from newer models and evolving safety
and emissions regulations. In an effort to inject new life into the
MGB line and boost sales, MG introduced the Limited Edition series.
The Limited Edition MGB was launched in 1979 and continued into the
final year if the MGB, 1980. It was available in both roadster and
GT coupe versions. The Limited Edition package included several
distinctive features that set it apart from standard MGB models.
Some of the key features included: Black Paint with Silver Stripes:
The Limited Edition MGBs were all finished in black paint, accented
with silver stripes along the sides of the car. This distinctive
color scheme helped the Limited Edition models stand out on the
road. Special Decals: In addition to the silver stripes, Limited
Edition MGBs featured unique decals on the front fenders and rear
deck lid, denoting the car's special edition status. Alloy Wheels:
The Limited Edition MGBs came equipped with stylish alloy wheels, a
departure from the steel wheels found on standard models. These
wheels not only enhanced the car's appearance but also improved
performance. Commemorative Plaque: Each Limited Edition MGB came
with a special commemorative plaque mounted on the dashboard,
indicating the car's unique production number within the limited
run. Limited Production: As the name suggests, the Limited Edition
MGBs were produced in limited numbers, adding to their exclusivity
and collectibility. And More: 185/14 Radial Tires Air Dam Front
