This next car came with a certain amount of deja vu. Did we already feature this car? Or have we simply seen so many Rover V8 powered MGBs that my brain has become a fog of classic British steel and aluminum alloy?

The MGB GT was a fixed roof version of Morris Garage's iconic MGB roadster, introduced in 1965 and built through 1980 for various markets. When first released, the GT used the same BMC B-series inline-4 cylinder engine, but added small back seats for kids and a gorgeous Pininfarina designed greenhouse with a fastback lift-gate and storage area. Prices for most classic European cars have graduated info crazy territory, but the MGB GT has remained surprisingly affordable for whatever reason, but I wouldn't expect that to last forever.

The MGB was a fantastic car when first introduced in 1962 and through the late 1960s...but it was getting long in the tooth by the 1980s when it was fitted with some awful looking rubber bumpers, and a smog restricted engine...but that shouldn't stop you from upping the power/fun with a Chevy V6 engine swap.

When you add the GT designation to something like a Mustang, it means you get a V8, but with the classic MGB it means you got a hardtop. Torsional rigidity and weatherproofing goes up when you add the Pininfarina designed greenhouse, but the best part is you get a fastback lift-gate to maximize your storage access and cool factor.
