1964 MGB roadster - yellow - rvl
Pat:
This looks like a later model - maybe early 70s version. The 1964 model - at least in the US - had smaller taillights and chrome bumbers that were not as high as the later model's bumpers. Larmcd "Paddy's Pig" > wrote in message ... > > > |

The wrap-around bumper shown on this model came out in 1979, if you want to
use that as a reference for a model year. ThomasS "larmcd" > wrote in message ... > Pat: > > This looks like a later model - maybe early 70s version.

To larmcd and Thomas --- Fellas I appreciate with what you're saying and ordinarily I'd agree - hence my disclaimer on the first picture - but here's a closeup of the note in the windshield: I have no further explanation. -- Pat Durkin |

He must have been promoting the availability of the '64 on the later-model
car.

I'd be very surprised if someone were to convert a 1964 car to later spec; the black bumpers, which appeared first in 1975, are deemed ugly by most MGB enthusiasts, and this car is painted in a late-1970s colour and has the style of dashboard first introduced in 1976. The earlier cars are generally more valuable than the later ones, so why go to the expense of updating one? I've heard of post-1975 cars being converted back to chrome bumpers, but never the other way round. -- Regards Leroy Curtis Please replace "nospam" with "baram" in my address if you wish to reply by Email |

I didn't see that.
Just added 2 cents to the reply on year of rear view. Thanks for heads up, Pat.
