MG Century - 100 years of MG in a single book!
David Knowles is probably the most knowledgeable and prolific writer on all things MG so its not surprising that he has written what may well be the most definitive history of the first 100 years of MG. In this video, we take a deep dive into the book and let you know what we think. Let us know what you think in the comments
If you'd like to buy a copy, it would be great if you would use the Amazon link below - it costs you the same, but it earns us a little money to help offset the costs of producing these videos!

This video is packed with classics, and chats with lots of interesting people that we met along the way! 00:08 Introduction 00:24 Openi...

MGB Overdrive Fail!
Переглядів 2,7 тис.Місяць тому
When the MGB-GT’s reverse gear began to stop working randomly, there was literally no going back! The general consensus online was that these symptoms, together with some intermittent freewheeling, suggested a failing clutch in the overdrive unit and, whilst this was backed up by several professional workshops, none wanted to sort it out. One garage we tried wouldn’t even swap a reconditioned u...
The Famous Marathon MGB

Now and again, we’re privileged to see a truly historic MGB and there aren't many that are more iconic than the Marathon MGB. The car took part in the 1968 London-Sydney Marathon rally - over 10,000 miles in 10 days of driving, plus a sea crossing from Bombay in India to Fremantle in Australia. The car was driven by Jean Denton (later to become Baroness Denton) and co-driven by Tom Boyce and fi...

    I bought a new 1971 MGB In Houston, Texas, USA, and had it for 24 years. During that time I had over 248,000 miles (399,000 kilometers) on it. Like many other MGB owners I regret to this day having to sell it. I loved every day I had it.

    A couple of months ago, I bought a copy of "MGB & MGB GT - The Essential Buyer's Guide", as recommended in one of your earlier videos. Unless I got the handy pocket-sized Reader's Digest version by mistake, it's very small - so much so that the detail photos are, well....not very detailed. At only 64 pages long, it's more like a pamphlet.

    • @ClassicMGB
      @ClassicMGB 2 дні тому

      Thanks for your comment - yes, it is small - I guess its designed to be carried with you when you go out and inspect the car. The Kindle version has much clearer photos, but its more difficult to take that with you when looking at a car... All that said, it's packed with information for buyers so I reckon worth the money... Did you buy an MGB after reading the book?

    A fact I read somewhere that I find interesting is that there is a relationship between the design of the orginal Ford Mustang and the 71/72 ‘fishmouth’ MGB because some Ford engineers who’d worked on Mustang were brought over to collaborate on the design. the fishmouth recessed grill is reminiscent of the grill of the Mustang, gives it a sportier look rather than the classic British look, and apparently that’s due to the influence of the Ford engineers. Not sure how true that is, who the engineers were, what other influence they had but I’d be interested to find out more. Thanks for the video - I enjoyed it.

    I bought a 1977 MGB cheap with the engine, transmission, radiator, gas tank and seat redone but the suspension and brakes are terrible but that can be solved with some hard work and a few dollars, I want to install front disc brakes and redo the rear drum brakes unless disc brakes are available for the rear also and I rebuilt the carbs in my friends shop it has dual carbs and runs nice but needs a really good shakedown of most every component for it just sat to long without driving it daily or at least weekly, when took over from the owners garage to my friends garage it was on a slide wrecker and did not even roll off on its own power without being started it barely slid off the wrecker bed for the rear drum brakes were both locked up and freed them up by taking the rear tires off and using penetrating oil and a steel hammer to beat on the drums and turn the hubs until both sides were free and later fixed the drum brakes on the rear with an overhaul of the entire brake system both front and rear

    I bought aa 1968 MGB in 1976 and enjoyed it for a few months without issue but as a young guy then, it was not lively enough for me after rebuilding an old race car. Since then I have rebuilt a few more cars, amongst them an MGA roadster and an MG Midget which while similar have very different feel than the MGB. I would advise to test drive these three models (and the MGB GT), as one will fit the requirements of your pocket and age. The MGB is easier to get into as you get older, but everyone has their own requirements.

      Thanks for your comment - I agree that the standard MGB isn't very lively, but still a lot of fun :-)

      Thanks for your comment. There seems to be a lot of different views about SU car oil. Many people say that normal engine is OK, but I've always used the stuff with SU on the bottle - maybe unnecessary but better for my peace of mind!

    Greetings from Fort Lauderdale. This workshop would be worth the airfare to the UK - except I don’t have my B. Yet! 😅

      Thanks for your comment. It's well worth a visit although it could be a bit far for you! Are there any more local workshops in the US?

      Thanks for your comment - if just one person gets one and it stops their MGB being stolen then it will be worth it!
