info re a B

would appreciate any info in general you might have for a 76 B ......... thanx

I have a 79 love it.

There are a lot of us on here that have 76 models. If you would be a little more specific in questions then I think you might get lots of returns to your statement. We love to talk about our cars!!

thanx for the reply and was trying to get a feeling in general for the 76 B I know thiers a jillion questions I could ask, but again "just asking in general thanx

What do you want to know?????

They don't have the suspension upgrades that came on the later cars. Namely roll bars and such. My brother in law has one and while I have '78, the difference in the cars in noticable. Not bad, just different in a handling aspect. His runs great and has just as much "go power" as mine. It looks the same in every way. I like the '76 dash more than the '78, but it is not a big thing.

Getting a '76 is not a bad thing, I would go for it. If you want to tighten up the suspension, it is not hard or expensive to do it. have fun.

Dan, if you don't buy one soon, you'll be like me: over three years down the road and still no car!

mine runs great handles great now, and good looking - i'm prejudice though - the chrome gnomes will be popping anytime now

do like my dash better than later years and it is what you see while driving

Perhaps the laziest post ever.

bummer, I hav seen slower ones than this.

requires a smog in California. Would not ouch one. Even free.

It has a 4 cylinder engine. :D

The 75 and the 76 cars did not have the rear anti-sway bar. My 75 did not have a front anti-sway bar, but I added one. Also, the brake pedal box is located just a tad bit further toward the front of the car than on the 77-80 models. Not really a problem unless you want to install SU carbs, then fitting air cleaners can be tricky. I love my 75, though I did ditch the ZS carb and installed HIF's.

Its a car.

From what i've seen and been told the 76 was the second year of the stromberg carb. So if that means anything??? I was once told 75 was a tough year to find(fires) but that might just be rumors. I like the 75 dash with the 25 year medal on, but other that that they are the same. Like all MG's a little under powered IMO but great looking and fun cars.

Dan, PM John here:

He has a nice one for sale and can give you whatever information you need, I'm sure. Then you can buy it and learn for yourself... (tu)

Seriously, Dan.
If I'd pulled the trigger three years ago I'd have three years of MG experience (and some enjoyment) under my belt now. I'd be one of the experts! As it is, I'm starting to feel too old and poor. If you have the money and a place to park the thing, go ahead. I like that blaze orange 76 that's advertised on the Seattle craigslist.

Cheese and thick worchester sauce is delicious
